Can I Call You

Can I Call You - David Gates

If I'm sitting all alone

And I find my telephone

Can I

Call you

If I spoke to you before

But I need to tell some more

Can I

Call again

A telephone just ain't enough

When this lonely night

Gets just too tough to take

Can I come on your door knockin'

When we're done through talkin' can I

Call you

'Cause I need love so badly

To ever see me through

That's why I keep reaching

Out for you

If my money's runnin' low

And I need a place to go

Can I

Call you

If I got a fresh supply

Of some wine to get us high

Should I

Call you up

If I dread you should discover

That I tried another lover

Just to

Had to see how good you are baby

When you're all done screamin' shoutin'

Nom more throwin' things and poutin'

Can I

Call you

'Cause I need you so near me

I can't let you go

So don't ever tell me

Tell me no

'Cause I need love so badly

To ever see me through

That's why I keep reaching

Out for you ohhh
