It's a little bit funnyyyyyy, Lord
this feeling insiiiiide
I'm not one of those whoooooooo
can easily hiiiiiide
I don't have much moneeeey but
boy, if I did
I'd buy a big mansion
where we both could liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive
If, if I was a sculpture, Lord honey
but then again, no
Or a man who makes pooootions
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 everybooooooooody
that 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 woooooooords
Hoooow wonderful life iiiiiiiis
when you're in the world, woooorld, wooooooooooooooooooorld
If, if, if I was on a rooftop
I'd kick off my shoes
I'll write a few veeeeeeeerses
and then I get the bluuuuuuuues
But the sun's been quite, quite kind
While I wrote this soooong
It's for people like you and people like me
I wanna, I wanna keep turnin' on on on on
So excuse me forgetting, but
these things I do, Lord
You see, you see I've forgotten
if they're green or bluuuuuuuue
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 know that
I hope you, I hope you wrote back and tell everybody
that 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, Looooord, words
I'm doin' it for how wonderful life iiiiiiiiiiiiiis
when you're in the world, woooorld, wooooooooooooooooooorld
If, if, if I was on a rooftop
I'd kick off my shoooes
I'll write a few veeeeeeeerses
and then I get the bluuuuuuuues
But the sun's been quite, quite kind
While I wrote this soooong
It's for people like you and people like me I wanna, I wanna keep turnin' on
So excuse so excuse me
So excuse me forgetting, but
these things I dooooooo
You see, you see I've forgotten
if they're green or bluuuuuuuue Baby
Anyway the things is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
Your are the sweetest eyes, you've got the sweetest eyes
The sweetest eyes I've ever seeeeeeeen
I hoping you go back, go back and tell everybody
that Billy Paul's got a song
