Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Call it
Call my name
Ooh
Call it
Call my name
[Verse 2]
I heard your voice this morning
Calling out my name
It had been so long since I heard it
That it didn't really sound quite the same, no
But it let me know that my name
Had never really been spoken before
Before the day I carried you
Through the bridal path door
[Verse 3]
And ever since that day
I haven't wanted anyone but you
And anybody who really knows me
Knows the truth
[Verse 4]
That I
[Verse 5]
I just can't stop writing songs about you
I love you so much
I just can't wait to get my arms around you
And feel your touch
Hey
If I don't see you real soon
Baby girl, I might go insane
I know it's only been three hours
But I love it when you call my name
[Verse 6]
Yes, I do
[Verse 7]
I heard a voice on the news
Saying people want to stop the war
(Stop the war, mmm)
If they had a love as sweet as you
They'd forget what they were fighting for
[Verse 8]
What's the matter with the world today?
Land of the free, huh
Somebody lied
They can bug my phone
And peep around my home
They'll only see you and me making love inside, yeah
[Verse 9]
Just can't stop writing songs about you
I love you so much
I just can't wait to get my arms around you
And feel your touch
If I don't see you real soon
Baby girl, I might go insane
Go crazy
I know it's only been three hours
But I love it when you call my name
[Verse 10]
Call my name
Call my name
[Verse 11]
Never seen the moon look so lovely
As the night I saw with you
It let me know I'd never seen the moon before
(Never seen the moon before)
[Verse 12]
So many speak of the moon
As though it had no flaws
But to compare it to a beauty like yours
Would give one pause
[Verse 13]
Nothing about you, huh, is false
That's why your love is real
(Talkin' 'bout a real love) That's why your love is real
God forbid you belonged to another
I'd have to steal you (Take you from your bed)
I might be tempted break the law (Break the law 'round here)
Because your beauty, it gives one pause (Yes, it does)
It slows me down and I
[Verse 14]
Just can't stop writing songs about you
I love you so much
I just can't wait to get my arms around you
And feel your touch
If I don't see you real soon
Baby girl, I might go insane
Crazy
I know it's only been three hours
But I love it when you call my name
[Verse 15]
My name, honey, would you call (Call)
Ooh (Call my name)
(Call, call my name)
[Verse 16]
Prince
That's right
[Verse 17]
Call my name
