Don't You Be Ashamed

(album: Introspect - 1968)

Ah, if you're all alone and blue, now
And this world has got you down, now, now
Well, I know just what to do, now
And I'll always be around

Oh, early in the morning and in the middle of the night
If you need somebody to make everything right
If you're all alone now
Just pick up the phone now
And you don't be ashamed to call my name
Don't you be ashamed to call my name

Ah, did you ever have a little teddy bear
When you were just five years old? I wanna know
And did you take him with you everywhere
To keep you warm when nights were cold?

Look-a here, early in the morning and in the middle of the night
If you need somebody to make everything right
If you're all alone now
You ought to pick up the phone now
And don't you be ashamed to call my name, no
Don't you be ashamed to call my name

Oo, you can't see electricity up on the power line
But you know it's got to be there 'cause you can see it shine
Well that's the way my love is, baby
I tell you just the way I feel
You don't have to have nobody
To tell you that it's real

Whoa, yeah

Ah, now you just leave it up to me now
Everything'll be all right now, now, now, now
You just set you little mind free now
And don't you let the world get you uptight, no

Oh, early in the morning and in the middle of the night
If you need somebody to make everything right
If you are alone, now
You ought to pick up the phone, now
But don't you be ashamed to call my name, no
Don't you be ashamed to call my name

Early in the morning whoa and in the middle of the night
Ah, need somebody to make everything all right
If you are alone, now
You ought to pick up the phone, now
And don't you be ashamed to call my name, no
Don't you be ashamed to call my name

Early in the morning or the middle of the night
If you need somebody to make everything right
If you are alone, now
You ought to pick up the phone, now
Well, don't you be ashamed to call my name, no
Don't you be ashamed to call my name
