Rick Springfield

Doctor, doctor you gotta help me yeah
You gotta make it right for me
It seems this other man s name has been following me around
And it just won t let me be
You see I got this name and he s got this name too know
Well they re kinda close only a blind crazy fool
Would think I was him it s like saying green is blue
But let me tell you brother it started being a bother
When he made the cover of Time magazine

I was at this party in the wild-hilled hills
Just the other night
Her name was Shelly I introduced myself
She just smiled and said all right
Well we got talkin and drinkin wine
And she said she liked my music thought it was fine
She said, Let s make love, your place or mine
And in the middle of the passion I was on the borderline
When she called out a name but it wasn t mine

She called me Bruce, Bruce
I can hear her calling Bruce, Bruce
I can hear her calling Bruce, Bruce
I can hear her
My name is Rick I m gonna stick it to ya babe
And there s this kid walking carrying a guitar
You know I told him that I played
He asked me my name you know I told him
I said it plain as clear as day
Well he seemed really, clearly, sincerely impressed
And as he pulled a piece paper for me to sign from his vest
He said, I thought Born To Run was one of your best
Aww wait a minute man, who do you think I am?
He answered, Mr. Springsteen, you re a famous man.

He called me Bruce, Bruce
I can hear him calling Bruce, Bruce
He called me Bruce, Bruce
I can hear him
My name is Richard gonna hit it to you babe

You know my mama called me long distance yesterday
And as she got off the phone I swear I heard her say

Bye bye Bruce, Bruce
I can hear her calling Bruce, Bruce
She called me Bruce, Bruce
I can hear her
My name is Ricky gonna stick it to you babe
