Sing it for me

Everybody come on, y'all know what this is

I don't know if I've ever felt like this before
But I'm sure that the way I feel
I don't want it to go
'Cause I've cried my share of tears and I've sang my share of blues
But to keep you over here
I'll do what I got to do

So baby call on me
Whether day or night
I'll never leave

Say you don't have to be alone
I'll come anywhere you want
Baby just pick up the phone and call on me
It's you and I
I wanna be your only love affair
See there it go
See there it go Mama

See love, I have never met a girl that could break me down
It's like I get caught in the middle
I get caught up a little anytime she's around
I be posted, waitin' on standby
Lookin' to catch a hit
I'm doin' whatever, whenever
Never forget I said I'd be here when you want
To get what you need, if you wanna receive
Oh, please believe you could

Call on me
Whether day or night
I'll never leave

Say you don't have to be alone
I'll come anywhere you want
Baby just pick up the phone and call on me
It's you and I, mama
I wanna be your only love affair
See there it go
See there it go Mama

Call on me
When you need someone who cares
Say the words and I'll be here
I can meet you anywhere
Call on me
Anytime that you please
Be whatever you want
Be whatever you need
Because you're the one I love baby

Just call on me, whether day or night
I'll never leave
You don't have to be alone, I'll come anywhere you want
Baby just pick up the phone and call on me
It's you and I, mama
I wanna be your only love affair
See there it go
See there it go, Mama

It don't matter where you go
I'll come anywhere you want me to
It don't matter near or far
It's like anything you say, I'll do
And it don't matter where you go
I'll come anywhere you want me to
And it don't matter, near or far
It's like anything you say, I'll do (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Err'body come on (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Err'body come on (yeah, yeah, yeah)
