Billy Paul – Your Song – 1972

    Paroles

    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 I was a sculpture, Lord, honey, but then again, 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 a gift, Lord, and I’m gon’ sing it for you

    And you can tell everybody that this is your song
    It may be 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 I was on a rooftop I’d kick off my shoes
    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 want to, I want to keep turnin’ on

    So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do, Lord
    You see, you see I’ve forgotten if they’re green or blue
    Anyway the things is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
    Your are the sweetest eyes, you’ve got the sweetest eyes
    The clearest eyes I’ve ever seen, I hope you know that

    I hope you, I hope you wrote back and tell everybody that 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 life is when you’re in the world, world,
    worldIf, if, if I was on a rooftop I’d kick off my shoes
    I’ll write a few verses, and then I’ll 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 want to, want to keep turnin’ on, so excuse me, so excuse me

    So excuse me forgetting, Lord, these things I do
    You see, you see I’ve forgotten if they’re green or blue, baby
    And anyway the things is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
    Your are the sweetest eyes, the sweetest eyes
    The sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen

    I hoping you go back, go back and tell everybody that 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
    I might come out with the Gospel, the Blues, the Jazz, the Rock and Roll

    I’m gonna, got to, got to write me a simple song for everybody because
    this is my song
    It may be 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
    You come on back, you try to try again, try again

    Tell everybody that Billy Paul 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

    Get back, get, got, oh, ho
