Your Song

Billy Paul



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 wanna, I wanna 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,

world



If, 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 wanna, wanna 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
