If, if, if I was a sculpture, Lord, honey,
but then again, no
(Then again no, no)
Or a man who makes potions in
a travelin' show
I know it's not much, I know it's not much,
but it's the best I can do
You gave me a gift, Lord,
and I'm gon' sing it for you
If, if, (if) if I was on a rooftop
I'd kick off my shoes
(Kick off my shoes,
kick off my shoes off)
I'll write a few verses
and then I get the blues
But the sun's been quite,
quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you and people like me
I wanna, I wanna keep turnin'

So excuse me for forgetting,
but these things I do, Lord
(These things I do, Lord)
You see, you see I've forgotten if
they're green or blue
Anyway the things is,
anyway the thing is, what I really mean
Your are the sweetest eyes,
you've got the sweetest eyes
The clearest eyes I've ever seen,
I hope you go back
I hope you, I hope you go back
and tell everybody
That this is your song
(This is your song)
It may be quite, quite simple,
but now that's how it's done
I hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind
But I wrote down in words,
Lord, words
I'm doin' it for how wonderful
it is
When you're in the world,
world, world
If, if, (if) if I was on a rooftop I'd kick off my shoes,
oh yeah
(Kick off my shoes,
kick off my shoes off)
I'll write a few verses,
and then I get the blues
But the sun's been quite,
quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you, people like me
I wanna, wanna keep turnin' on,
so excuse me, so excuse me
So excuse me for forgetting,
but these things I do
(These things I do, Lord)
You see, you see I've forgotten
if they're green or blue, baby
And anyway the things is,
anyway the thing is, what I really mean
You are the sweetest eyes,
the sweetest eyes
The sweetest eyes I've ever seen
I want you to go back,
go back and tell everybody

(Billy Paul's got a song)
I'm, I'm gonna sit upon a,
a rooftop and kick my shoes off
I'm gonna write it (write it) write

I might come out with the
Gospel (Gospel)

(This is my song)
It may be quite, quite simple but
that's the way it's done
I hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind
