Billy Paul - Your Song Lyrics

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, if I was a sculpture, Lord, honey, but then again, no
(Then again no, 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 me a gift, Lord, and I'm gon' sing it for you

And you can tell everybody that this is your song
(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) if I was on a rooftop I'd kick off my shoes
(Kick off my shoes, kick off my shoes off)
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 for forgetting, but these things I do, Lord
(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 go back

I hope you, I hope you go back and tell everybody
That this is your song
(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 it is
When you're in the world, world, world

If, if, (if) if I was on a rooftop I'd kick off my shoes, oh yeah
(Kick off my shoes, kick off my shoes off)
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, people like me
I wanna, wanna keep turnin' on, so excuse me, so excuse me

So excuse me for forgetting, but these things I do
(These things I do, Lord)
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
You are the sweetest eyes, the sweetest eyes
The sweetest eyes I've ever seen

I want you to go back, go back and tell everybody
That Billy Paul's got a song
(Billy Paul's got a song)
I'm, I'm gonna sit upon a, a rooftop and kick my shoes off
I'm gonna write it (write it) write it (write it) write it (write it)
I might come out with the Gospel (Gospel)
The Blues (Blues)
The Jazz (Jazz)
The Rock and Roll

I'm gonna, got to, got to write me a simple song for everybody
Because this is my song
(This is my song)
It may be quite, quite simple but that's the way 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's got a song
(Billy Paul's 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
