Bruce lyrics

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, you 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!"

Awww, 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
