Beatles, The - I Call Your Name Lyrics






I call your name but you're not there
Was I to blame for being unfair
Oh I can't sleep at night
Since you've been gone
I never weep at night
I can't go on

Don't you know I can't take it
I don't know who can
I'm not goin' to mayayake it
I'm not that kind of man

Oh I can't sleep at night
But just the same
I never weep at night
I call your name
Aww

Don't you know I can't take it
I don't know who can
I'm not goin' to mayayake it
I'm not that kind of man

Oh I can't sleep at night
But just the same
I never weep at night
I call your name
I call your name
I call your name
I call your name

    This is the real John Lennon..love this song...He double takes this song but it doesn't matter it just adds substance to his voice..Love it.

  3. D.... M....

    What? No "more cowbell" jokes?

  4. K.... s....

    Magical John what a voice and style-Miss you. First album is what I first heart from you guys in 19644 and was hooked ever since. 55 years of listening and still loving it.

  5. D.... B....

    Lennon’s vocals? Pedestrian. Harrison’s guitar playing? Mediocre. McCartney’s bass line? Dull. Ringo’s cowbell? LEGENDARY!

    Very overlooked song

  52. H.... O....

    I love John's voice here.

  53. E.... ....

    1:31
    When you're shot by an obsessed fan

  54. F.... ....

  55. L.... L....

    More cowbell! Great song!

  56. F.... K....

    Great song!

  57. O.... ....

    Got to be one of my all time favourites from them - superb

  58. J.... V....

    Love. This version

  59. T.... B....

    Besides John's vocals, part of what makes this song is the 7th guitar chords underneath. And the time signature change in the break. Great song, just another example of why the Beatles are the best band of all time.

  60. g.... b....

    More cow bell. 😂

  61. C.... D....

    I like the chord progressions in the verses.

  62. K.... A....

    Can't sleep without u!!!😥😣🤗😍.I miss u💔

  63. C.... P....

    It pissed me off when people thing Beatles was pure McCartney. Don't get me wrong I love Paul but but Lennon was the MAIN BEATLE PERIOD!

  64. i.... ....

    good enough the number of cowbell... ENOUGH !

  65. 4.... _....

    I hope I get through this

  66. F.... W....

    What an irony to think that John Lennon thought (according to his own sister) he didn't sing well....wow, he was totally wrong in that; what a voice and style...a master of the early Beatles

  67. T.... M....

    Should've been on A Hard Day's Night!

  68. E.... P....

    The Greatest!

  69. D.... k....

    One of my all-time favorite Beatles songs. Pure, Lennon mastery, & brilliance. Kind of underrated.

  70. t.... m....

    John...
    I call your name

  71. K.... G....

    Jahn beet wif
    Baul was spleeping y'know
    Geege cheet wif
    Rigno will TOSS fanmail after Oct 20th

    K.... G....

    not funny

  72. J.... B....

    John claimed the middle section was his attempt at 'bluebeat' or what we call reggae.

    J.... B....

    One of the really interesting things about the Beatles is how were inspired by other music but never in a way that was just mimicry. I never would've suspected they were influenced by reggae in this song, just as I never thought Dylan was the inspiration behind John's singing in "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away." And yet each added variety and additional sounds to the Beatles repertoire that sounded wholly original and wholly Beatles.

  73. s.... ....

    Great guitar playing by George
    Harrison on this song.

  74. P.... C....

    Pretty damn nice song tbh !

  75. K.... H....

    Yesterday hasn't changed from today beatalls music makes me smile @ puts a better light on life....

  76. A.... B....

    Belle musique ! je l'aime beaucoup.

    A.... B....

    C'est très mignon.

  77. A.... F....

    Has a similar vibe to You Can't Do That .Both have a brilliant Lennon lead vocal.

    A.... F....

    Lennon has a powerhouse of a voice! And nobody can beat his rhythm guitar.

  78. T.... ....

    The Key "More Cowbell"!

  79. 1.... ....

    That a twelve string on the right and solo?

  80. D.... B....

    Greatest. Band. Ever. Period, the end, next topic.

    D.... B....

    You sound just like me. No discussion ever needed on the topic.

    D.... B....

    No arguments about that here. The greatest and influential band in the history of music

    D.... B....

    David Bowman, Amen!😎. God Bless. ☮

    D.... B....

    Been a rocker since 63. The best band? Well duh. There’s the Beatles and runner ups Stones, Steely Dan, Zeppelin, Dylan, and the Fab Four king of the hill. When mountains crumble to the sea the will still be the Beatles....

  81. J.... s....

    I like it as much now as when it came out!

  82. K.... C....

    I suppose someone has already said ‘more cowbell.’

    K.... C....

    A few dozen times, I think.

  83. B.... L....

    Great overtones in his voice...

  84. J.... F....

    I love the way the tempo changes half way through. Brilliant.

  85. v.... ....

    this song needs more cowbell

  86. M.... ....

    Who is listening this song in 2019 ? Kisses from Argentina ❤

    M.... ....

    ¡Yoooo, en Santiago de Chile, y en medio del conflicto social que vivimos, me apoyo en la eterna música de los inmortales Beatles...!!!

    M.... ....

    Listening in the USA...

    M.... ....

    Saludos desde Torreón México

    M.... ....

    Stop kissing all the men, you hooker.

  87. j.... g....

    I HAVE BEEN PLAYING BASS SINCE 1966. PAUL WAS ALWAYS MY IDLE. THEY WHERE MY FAVORATE GROUP.

  88. E.... C....

    Love this song

  89. C.... A....

    John wrote this while his first wife (girlfriend at the time) Cynthia was in hospital with appendicitis in the late 50s/early 60s. He couldn't stand being without her

    C.... A....

    @Jim Bailey how disgusting are you?? John didn't beat her

    C.... A....

    Chantelle Adlington Haha what a joke. He cheated on her with hundreds of women (he admitted this to her in front of all his friends on the plane back from India), didn’t speak to her to days at a time while living with her towards the end of the relationship and most definitely did beat her. The only source that even comes close to saying that he didn’t is in Cynthias book - which claims he only beat her once. However, this is clearly just a lie to save face and try t o protect John as every other person that was close to John reports that he did beat her sometimes. At the end of Cynthias book she says that if she could go back to the start she wouldn’t go out with John - that doesn’t sound like true love to me.

    C.... A....

    Chantelle Adlington People like you try to fucking romanticise everything and act like you know John are so irritating. I forgot to mention that he also sent her away on holiday and purposefully timed her return so she would walk in on him and Yoko in the house. He also instructed magic alex to try and have sex with her on holiday so he could claim adultery in the divorce so he could get more money. All of this is not speculation; these are facts - taken from the John Lennon biography and Cynthia Autobiography. If you want any more proof here it is: https://www.quora.com/Did-John-Lennon-really-beat-his-first-wife

    https://www.dailycal.org/2017/11/13/john-lennon-beatles-yoko-ono-cynthia-imagine/

    You can hate Yoko all you want; but if John really was a loving husband he would never have left Cynthia for her. It’s just as much his fault as it is hers.

    C.... A....

    @Alexander Vickers and where are these other sources saying that he hit her regularly then?

    C.... A....

    Chantelle Adlington Search it up if you want: it’s all’s there and has been documented.

  90. R.... ....

    Much as I like the mama's and papa's version, it does not top the original!

  91. E.... G....

    BEATLEMANIA FOREVER <3

  92. M.... N....

    The Beatles are the best band ever!

  93. l.... ....

    more cowbell !!!

  94. R.... T....

    Another john masterpiece, love the guitar changes in the middle eight?kinda jazzy then back to rythym, great voice oooo

  95. E.... B....

    I love this song

  96. C.... M....

    Great great song, listened since I wS a kid. A favorite and I read about John's voice and the cowbells, that's John lennon.... perfection, he went over every track added chorus, COWBELLS, finger snaps, love George and Ringo, Lennon McCartney was 90 10 lennon.
    His voice and perfection made Beatles greatest in the world, still great today.
    Imagine number 1 selling song in history. And that was fighting religion and government. Love you john.

  97. I.... ....

    But I gotta have more cowbell, Ringo !!! ;-)

  98. d.... ....

    Cowbell time

  99. E.... L....

    Mcartney's bass fill at 1:47 (!!!)
