Lyrics Quincy Jones – Love Me By Name
Text:
Patti Austin:
I tried so hard to be carefree
Rolling out of someone’s bed
Into the sunshine
But the sun coming up
Does not always bring the light
And somehow I feel that it’s just not right
It’s not for me
Does not always bring the light
And somehow I feel that it’s just not right
It’s not for me
Well it’s been so long
Since I’ve been loved by name
Love me by name
Love me by name
Come on, come on, come on
Love me
I feel afraid
I don’t know why
You’re surely not the first I’ve had
Who held me gently, yeah
Oh, who took the sweet time
To ask me about me
Well, maybe this time
Oh God, oh God, let it be
Oh, and it’s been, it’s been so, so, so long
Since I’ve been loved by name
Love me by name
Love me by name
Come on, come on, come on
Love me by name
Love me by name
Come on, come on, come on…
