James Lyrics
[Verse 1]
James
If you heed the call
And you go outside, and wander off
Then home is there
Wherever you will make it
You can always say, "Who's laughing now?"
[Verse 2]
James

[Chorus]

James
Oh, you're never too far off
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Oh, James
My little doll

There's no need to shout, I'm always home
And walk on in
I'll make you tea and breakfast
And we both can say, "Who's laughing now?"
[Outro]
Oh, James
Oh, James
Oh, James
No, you're never too far off (Oh, James)
No, you're never too far off (Oh)
