Lyrics

Folks say that you found some one new

to do the things I used to do for you.

Just call my name;

I’m not a (Bb7)shamed.

I’ll come run nin’ back to you.

Can’t sleep at night,

I can’t eat a bite.

When you were mine, I did n’t treat you right.

Just call my name, I know, I know I’m (Bb7)not a shamed.

I’ll come run nin’ (Eb)back to you.

Just like a king, I’ve lost ev

’ry thing.

I sit all a lone on my throne.

I’ve got my pride, but deep down in side

I’m yours and yours a lone, whoa.

I try to for get; have no re grets,

This love of ours could al ways (Ab)start a new.

Just call my name, whoa, I know I’m (Bb7)not a shamed.

I’ll come run nin’ (Eb7)back to (Ab)you.

Just like a king, I’ve lost ev

’ry thing.

I sit all a lone on my throne.

I’ve got my pride, but deep down in side

I’m yours and yours a lone, whoa.

I try to for get; have no re grets,

This love of ours could al ways (Ab)start a new.

Just call my name, whoa, I know I’m (Bb7)not a shamed.

I’ll come run nin’ (Eb7)back to (Ab)you.

(Ab)you.
