Itand's a little bit funny, lord, this feeling inside
iand'm not one of those who can easily hide
i donand't have much money but, boy, if i did
iand'd buy a big mansion where we both could live
If, if i was a sculpture, lord, honey, but then again, no
or a man who makes potions in a travelinand' show
i know itand's not much, i know itand's not much, but itand's the best i can do
you gave a gift, lord, and iand'm gonand' sing it for you
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
it may be quite, quite simple but thatand's how itand's done
i hope you donand't mind, i hope you donand't mind what i wrote down in words,
words
how wonderful life is when youand're in the world, world, world
If, if, if i was on a rooftop iand'd kick off my shoes
iand'll write a few verses, and then i get the blues
but the sunand's been quite, quite kind while i wrote this song
itand's for people like you and people like me
i wanna, i wanna keep turninand' on
So excuse me forgetting, but these things i do, lord
you see, you see iand've forgotten if theyand're green or blue
anyway the things is, anyway the thing is, what i really mean
your are the sweetest eyes, youand've got the sweetest eyes
the clearest eyes iand'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 thatand's how itand's done
i hope you donand't mind, i hope you donand't mind, but i wrote down in words,
lord, words
iand'm doinand' it for how wonderful life is when youand're in the world, world,
world
If, if, if i was on a rooftop iand'd kick off my shoes
iand'll write a few verses, and then iand'll get the blues
but the sunand's been quite, quite kind while i wrote this song
itand's for people like you, people like me
i wanna, wanna keep turninand' on, so excuse me, so excuse me
So excuse me forgetting, lord, these things i do
you see, you see iand've forgotten if theyand're green or blue, baby
and anyway the things is, anyway the thing is, what i really mean
your are the sweetest eyes, the sweetest eyes
the sweetest eyes iand've ever seen
I hoping you go back, go back and tell everybody that billy pauland's got a
song
iand'm, iand'm gonna sit upon a, a rooftop and kick off my shoes
iand'm gonna write it, write it, write it
i might come out with the gospel, the blues, the jazz, the rock and roll
Iand'm gonna, got to, got to write me a simple song for everybody because
this is my song
it may be quite, quite simple but thatand's how itand's done
i hope you donand't mind, i hope you donand'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 got a song
it may be quite, quite simple but thatand's how itand's done, baby
i hope you donand't mind, i hope you donand't mind what i wrote down in words
hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it
Get back, get, got, oh, ho
