billy paul - your song lyrics
it’s a little bit funny lord, this feeling inside
i’m not one of those who can easily hide
i don’t have much money but, boy, if i did
i’d buy a big mansion where we both could live
if, if, if i was a sculpture lord, honey, but then again, no
(then again no, no)
or a man who makes potions in a travelin’ show
i know it’s not much, i know it’s not much, but it’s the best i can do
you gave me a gift lord, and i’m gonna sing it for you
and you can tell everybody that this is your song
(this is your song)
it may be a quite, quite simple, but that’s how it’s done
i hope you don’t mind, i hope you don’t mind
what i wrote down in words, words
how wonderful life is when you’re in the world, world, world
if, if, (if), if i was on a rooftop
i’d kick off my shoes (kick off my shoes, kick my shoes off)
i’ll write a few verses and then i get the blues
but the sun’s been quite, quite kind while i wrote this song
it’s for people like you and people like me
i wanna, i wanna keep turnin’ on
so excuse me, so excuse me
so excuse me forgetting, but these things i do lord
(these things i do lord)
you see, you see i’ve forgotten if they’re green or blue
anyway the thing is, anyway the thing is, what i really mean
you’ve got the sweetest eyes, you’ve got the sweetest eyes
the clearest eyes i’ve ever seen, i hope you got back
i hope you, i hope you got back and tell everybody
that this is your song (this is your song)
it may be quite, quite simple, but now that’s how it’s done
i hope you don’t mind, i hope you don’t mind
but i wrote down in words lord, words
i’m doin’ it for how wonderful it is when you’re in the world, world, world
if, if, (if), if i sat upon a rooftop i’d kick off my shoes, oh yeah
(kick off my shoes, kick my shoes off)
i’ll write a few verses and then i get the blues
but the sun’s been quite, quite kind while i wrote this song
it’s for people like you, people like me
i wanna, wanna keep turnin’ on, so escuse me, so escuse me
so escuse me forgetting, but these things i do
(these things i do lord)
you see, you see i’ve forgotten if they’re green or blue, baby
and anyway the thing is, anyway the thing is, what i really mean
you are the sweetest eyes, the sweetest eyes
the sweetest eyes i’ve ever seen
i want you to go back, go back and and tell everybody
that billy paul’s got a song (billy paul’s got a song)
i’m, i’m gonna sit upon a, a rooftop and kick off my shoes
i’m gonna write it (write it), write it (write it), write it (write it)
i might come out with the gospel (gospel), the blues (blues),
the jazz (jazz), the rock and roll
i’m gonna, got to, got to write me a simple song for everybody
because this is my song (this is my song)
it may be quite, quite simple but that’s the way it’s done
i hope you don’t mind, i hope you don’t mind
what i wrote down in words, words
you come back, you try to try again, try again
tell everybody that billy paul’s got a song
(billy paul’s got a song)
it may be quite, quite simple but that’s how it’s done, baby
i hope you don’t mind, i hope you don’t mind
what i wrote down in words
hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it ooooh
get back, get, got, oh no
