Don't You Be Ashamed - Joe South

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 mornin' and in the middle of the night

If you need somebody to make everythin' 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 mornin' and in the middle of the night

If you need somebody to make everythin' 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 mornin' and in the middle of the night

If you need somebody to make everythin' 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 mornin' whoa and in the middle of the night

Ah, need somebody to make everythin' 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 mornin' or the middle of the night

If you need somebody to make everythin' 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
