I Call Your Name

Release date: 19 June 1964

I call your name, but you're not there.
Was I to blame for being unfair?
Oh, I can't sleep at night since you've been gone,
I never weep at night, I can't go on.

Well, don't you know I can't take it?
I don't know who can.
I'm not goin' to make it,
I'm not that kind of man.

Oh, I can't sleep at night since you've been gone,
I never weep at night, I call your name.
Well, don't you know I can't take it?
I don't know who can.

I'm goin' to make it,
I'm not that kind of man.
Oh, I can't sleep at night but just the same,
I never weep at night, I call your name.
I call your name

Don't you know I can't take it
I don't know who can
I'm not gonna make it
I'm not that kind of man

Oh I cant sleep at night but just the same
I never weep at night
I call your name
I call your name
