Doctor, doctor you gotta help me yeah

You gotta make it right for me

It seems this other man's name has been following me around

And it just won't let me be

You see I got this name and he's got this name too know

Well they're kinda close only a blind crazy fool

Would think I was him it's like saying green is blue

But let me tell you brother it started being a bother

When he made the cover of Time magazine

I was at this party in the wild-hilled hills

Just the other night

Her name was Shelly I introduced myself

She just smiled and said "all right"

Well we got talkin' and drinkin' wine

And she said she liked my music thought it was fine

She said, "Let's make love, your place or mine"

And in the middle of the passion I was on the borderline

When she called out a name but it wasn't mine

She called me Bruce, Bruce

I can hear her calling Bruce, Bruce

I can hear her calling Bruce, Bruce

I can hear her

My name is Rick I'm gonna stick it to ya babe

And there's this kid walking carrying a guitar

You know I told him that I played

He asked me my name you know I told him

I said it plain as clear as day

Well he seemed really, clearly, sincerely impressed

And as he pulled a piece paper for me to sign from his vest

He said, "I thought Born To Run was one of your best"

Awww wait a minute man, who do you think I am?

He answered, "Mr. Springsteen, your a famous man."

He called me Bruce, Bruce

I can hear him calling Bruce, Bruce

He called me Bruce, Bruce

I can hear him

My name is Richard gonna hit it to you babe

You know my mama called me long distance yesterday

And as she got off the phone I swear I heard her say

Bye bye Bruce, Bruce

I can hear her calling Bruce, Bruce

She called me Bruce, Bruce

I can hear her

My name is Ricky gonna stick it to you babe
