Lyrics Call Me By My Rightful Name - Live At Newport Jazz Festival/1965 - Archie Shepp



I wanna go!
So, what'd you say,
When you gonna let me know
If you give a damn about me.
'Cause you've got my hands tied,
In my defense I always fall for confidence
And your compliments look good on me.
I know 'cause nobody knows it better
Than that girl up in the corner with the scarlet letter,
I know what you really think,
That she doesn't matter
But noone knows you better.
I wanna dance,
I wanna dance (dance dance)
With you! (you)
Take a chance, take a chance!
Oh yeah!
I wanna dance,
I wanna dance (dance dance)
With you! (you)
So take a chance, take a chance!
Oh yeah!
I need a sign or a signal.
I've overthought everything I can think of.
It's a symbol, the cold and your jacket,
And the remments of you cigarette packet.
I wanna go!
So, what'd you say,
When you gonna let me know
If you give a damn about me.
'Cause you've got my hands tied,
In my defense I always fall for confidence
And your compliments look good on me.
I know 'cause nobody knows it better
Than that girl up in the corner with the scarlet letter,
I know what you really think,
That she doesn't matter
But noone knows you better.
I wanna dance,
I wanna dance (dance dance)
With you! (you)
Take a chance, take a chance!
Oh yeah!
I wanna dance,
I wanna dance (dance dance)
With you! (you)
So take a chance, take a chance!
Oh yeah!
