text: Its a little bit funny Lord, this feeling inside
  Im not one of those who can easily hide
  I dont have much money but, boy, if I did
  Id buy a big mansion where we both could live
  If, if, if I was a sculpture Lord, honey, but then again, no
  Or a man who makes potions in a travelin show
  I know its not much, I know its not much, but its the best I can do
  You gave me a gift Lord, and Im gon sing it for you
  And you can tell everybody that this is your song
  It may be a quite, quite simple, but thats how its done
  I hope you dont mind, I hope you dont mind
  What I wrote down in words, words
  How wonderful life is
  When youre in the world, world, world
  If, if
  If I was on a rooftop, Id kick off my shoes
  Ill write a few verses and then I get the blues
  But the suns been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song
  Its for people like you and people like me
  I wanna, I wanna keep turnin on
  So excuse me for forgetting, but these things I do Lord
  You see, you see Ive forgotten if theyre green or blue
  Anyway the thing is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
  Youve are the sweetest eyes, youve got the sweetest eyes
  The clearest eyes Ive ever seen, I hope you go back
  I hope you, I hope you got back and tell everybody
  That this is your song
  It may be quite, quite simple, but now thats how its done
  I hope you dont mind, I hope you dont mind
  But I wrote down in words, Lord, words
  Im doin it for how wonderful it is
  When youre in the world, world, world
  If, if
  If I sat upon a rooftop Id kick off my shoes, oh yeah
  Ill write a few verses and then I get the blues
  But the suns been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song
  Its for people like you, people like me
  I wanna, wanna keep turnin on, so excuse me, so excuse me
  So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
  You see, you see Ive forgotten if theyre green or blue, baby
  And anyway the thing is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
  You are the sweetest eyes, the sweetest eyes
  The sweetest eyes Ive ever seen
  I want you to go back, go back and and tell everybody
  That Billy Pauls got a song
  Im, Im gonna sit upon a, a rooftop and kick my shoes off
  Im gonna write it , write it , write it 
  I might come out with the Gospel
  The blues
  The jazz
  The rock and roll
  Im gonna, got to, got to write me a simple song for everybody
  Because this is my song
  It may be quite, quite simple but thats the way its done
  I hope you dont mind, I hope you dont mind
  What I wrote down in words, words
  You come back, you try to try again, try again
  Tell everybody that Billy Pauls got a song
  It may be quite, quite simple but thats how its done, baby
  I hope you dont mind, I hope you dont mind
  What I wrote down in words
  Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it ooooh
  Get back, get, got, oh no
