	Originally handed over to Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, the Beatles decided to record it on their own because BJK's version didn't include the song's best feature--that cool middle part with the bouncy beat. Another John sizzler. A great half-serious cover version came out a couple years afterward by the Mamas and Papas.	Bruce Beatlefan	November 21, 2005

Lyrics

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

Don't you know I can't take it
I don't know who can,
I'm not gonna mayayake it
I'm not that kind of ma-a-an

Oh I can't sleep at night,
But just the same
I never weep at night,
I call your name
Ow!

(guitar solo)

Don't you know I can't take it,
I don't know who can
I'm not gonna mayayake it,
I'm not that kind of ma-a-an

Oh I can't sleep at night,
But just the same
I never weep at night
I call your name,

I call your name

I call your name, ooh!

I call your name...
