Terry Callier:

[Whooooooo hoooh]

It don't matter, when you turn
Gonna Survive, you live and learn
I've been thinking about you, baby

By the light of dawn,
A midnight blue ... day and night ... I've been missing you.
I've been thinking about you, baby.
Almost makes me crazy,
Come and live with me.


Either way, Win or Lose,
When you're born into trouble,
You live the blues,
I've been thinking about you, baby.
See it almost makes me crazy

Times, Nothing's right, if you ain't here
I'll give all that I have, just to keep you near
I wrote you a letter, I tried to, make it clear
You just don't believe that i'm sincere
I've been thinking about you, baby.
(woohoooo hoooo)

Plans and schemes, hopes and fears
Dreams that deny, for all these years
I, I've been thinking about you, baby
Living with me, wow

I've been thinking about you, baby
Makes me wanna [hoooo, hoooo]
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Times, Nothing's right, if you ain't here
I'll give all that I have, just to keep you near
I wrote you a letter, darling, tried to make it clear,
But you just don't believe that I'm sincere

I've been thinking about you, baby
I want you to live with me, wow
I've been thinking about you, baby
I want you to live with me
