rick shorter, 1966
the paupers
v1
if i call you by some name
that perhaps is not your name
will you try to understand
that i never had it planned
but at times my thoughts do slip
and her name comes to my lips
and i'll call you by some name
that perhaps is not your name
v2
if i look into your eyes
like they're someone else's eyes,
oh you need not sympathize,
but i wish you'd realize
that it's not been very long
since the one i loved's been gone,
if i look into your eyes,
like they're someone else's eyes.
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
v3
if i give you all my love
like i once gave all my love.
you can tell yourself at last
he's forgotten 'bout the past
and the thousand yesterdays
he'll no longer cross your ways
if i give you all my love
like i once gave all my love.
(ooh-ooh-ooh)
if i call you by some name
that perhaps-
is not your name.
