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.
Well don't you know I can't take it. I don't know who can,
I'm not goin' to make 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.

    General Comment:this song perfectly sums up the way i feel about the fact that the one i love is in ireland.

    very touching song, made me cry.

    gotta love the beatles for always being there for you when you need to say something you can't.

    General Comment:I like this song... but I am a fan of the earlier stuff because I like that happy-go-lucky 50s style. The style where a guy can be singing about how his girl dumped him and he wants to kill himself but the song still has an upbeat sound. I love how the guitars go from one part to the other like that, this song is hot!

    General Comment:Hiya wok, took a while, but I just think it's about someone who's cut up about a split.

    Asking himself over and over again what he did wrong, yadaya, you get the idea.

    General Comment:I love this ong, but I prefer the Mamas and the Papas cover. I think what it's about is kinda obvious.
