Lyrics
Love Me By Name
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I tried so hard to be carefree
Rolling out of someone's bed into sunshine
But the Sun coming up
Doesn't always bring the light
And somehow I feel it's just not right, not for me
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, come on
I feel afraid; I don't know why
You're surely not the first I've had
Who held me gently
Who took the sweet time
To ask me about me
Well, maybe this time, oh, God, let it be
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, come on
