It's been so long since
You felt like you were loved
So what went wrong
But do you know
There's a place where you belong
Here in my arms

When you feel like you're alone in your sadness
It seems like no one else in this whole world cares
And you want to get away from the madness
You just call my name and I'll be there
You just call my name and I'll be there

The pain inside
Has erased your hope for love
Soon you will find
That I'll give you all
That your heart could ever want
And so much more

You just call my name
You just call my name
Call my name say it now
I want you to never doubt
The love I have for you is so alive
Call my name say it now
I want you to never doubt
The love I have for you is so alive

When you feel like you're alone in your sadness
It seems like no one else in this whole world cares
And you want to get away from the madness
You just call my name and I'll be there
You just call my name and I'll be there

You just call my name
You just call my name
You just call my name

The love I have for you is so alive
The love I have for you is so alive
You just call my name
You just call my name
You just call my name
