[English]

How'd you think I feel when you call my name?

You got me confused by the way I've changed

How'd you think I feel when you call my name?

My name, say my name, baby

...

It's the love you save for the way I know we've been apart ('part, 'part, 'part)

It's an endless circle of poison arrow to my heart (heart, heart, heart)

Sayin' I

I love what you do to me, need you to stay with me

I

I love you too much to let go

How'd you think I feel when you call my name?

You got me confused by the way I've changed

How'd you think I feel when you call my name?

My name, say my name, baby

How'd you think I feel when you call my name?

You got me confused by the way I've changed

How'd you think I feel when you call my name?

My name, say my name, baby

It's a constant thought of my baby takin' up my time (time, time, time)

It's a non-stop vision of you that's playin' on my mind (mind, mind, mind)

Sayin' I

I love what you do to me, need you to stay with me

I

I love you too much to let go

How'd you think I feel when you call my name?

You got me confused by the way I've changed

How'd you think I feel when you call my name?

My name, say my name, baby

How'd you think I feel when you call my name?

You got me confused by the way I've changed

How'd you think I feel when you call my name?

My name, say my name, baby

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) when you call my name

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) when you call my name

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) say my name, baby

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) when you call my name

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) when you call my name

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) say my name, baby
