I tried so hard to be carefree   Rolling out of someone's bed   Into the sunshine   But the sun, oh, coming up   Doesn't always bring the light, oh   And somehow, somehow I feel, oh   It's just not right   No, not for me      Well it's been so long   Since I've been loved by name, oh-ho   Love me by name, ah   Love me by name   Come on, come on, ooh-hoo   Love me      Here I feel afraid, ooh   And I don't know why   You're surely not the first I've had, ah, oh   Who held me gently, yeah   Oh, who took the sweet time   Just to ask me about me   Well, well maybe this time   Oh god, let it be   Oh, it's such so, so, so long   Since I've been loved, oh, by name      Love me by name   Ah, love me by name   Come on and love me, oh baby   Yes, love me, aah, aah      Oh, love me by name, oh   Why don't you love me, ah   Come on, come on, ahh, ahh   Sweet baby   Oh won't you love me, yeah   Love me by name
