The Temptations - Calling Out Your Name / When We Were Kings

Calling Out Your Name

All my days and nights are the same
Days turn into nights and weeks, unanswered needs
Must I live my life this way?
Always livin' for the moment to hold you again
I get tired (I'm so in love with you) of living alone
I can't wait for this journey to end (I hope you missed me too)
To come back home

'Cause you've got me callin' (callin')
Callin' (callin')
Callin' out your name (I call your name)
You got me callin' (callin')
Callin' (callin')

Over the hills and plains
You got me callin' (callin')
Callin' (callin')
Callin' out your name
You've got me (callin')

I can't help feeling the way that I do
'Cause you're one of a kind, so rare and true
I know we gotta do what we gotta do (I know we gotta do what we gotta do, baby)
That don't make it any easier being from you

I get tired (I'm so in love with you)
Of living alone (I'm so in love with you)
I can't wait for this journey to end (I hope you missed me too)
To come back home

'Cause you've got me callin' (callin')
Callin' (callin')
Callin' out your name (I call your name)
You got me callin' (callin')
Callin' (callin')

Over the hills and plains
You got me callin' (callin')
Callin' (callin')
Callin' out your name
You've got me callin', yeah

Oh (I hope you understand I don't take you for granted, ooh)
Baby, for always being there (of all the rest, I've got the best, ooh)
Nothing can compare

You're my refuge when I need to escape
You're my, oh, my oasis when I need a cool drink, oh
You are my life, you are my soul
You're everything in this world

And you've got me callin' (callin')
Calling (callin')
Callin' out your name (I call your name)
You got me callin' (callin') (each day of my life, baby)
Callin' (callin')

You got me callin'
You are my love (callin')
You are my life (callin')
You are my everything, make it alright, hey, hey (I call your name)
Callin' out your name (callin', callin')
I'm call, callin' you

Girl, I want you to listen (callin', callin', ooh)
It's your huggin' and kissin' I'm missin', ooh baby
I'm callin' you, baby (callin', callin', ooh)
It's the love that I found in you, I need you, ooh
Make my world go 'round, baby (callin', callin', ooh)
Callin' out your name
Ooh, girl (calling) (callin', callin', ooh)
I call (I call you) I am calling you

Girl, I'm loud and proud when I'm calling out your name
I'm not ashamed, baby (doo-do-do-do-doo, I'm calling your name)
I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed, hey, hey (doo-do-do-do-doo, I'm calling your name)

Callin' your name
You're the only one I want (got my knee pads on) (doo-do-do-do-doo, I'm calling your name)
In my life (coming on home, baby) (doo-do-do-do-doo, I'm calling your name)
Said I'm calling on you (I'm callin', I'm callin' you, baby, yeah, hoo)
