  • James
    If you heed the call
    And you go outside, and wander off
    And home is there
    Forever you will make it
    You can always say, "Who's laughing now?"

    James
    If you need a friend
    Come right over
    You don't even knock
    And I'll be home
    The door is always open
    And we both can say, "Who's laughing now?"

    Oh James
    My little doll
    You just go outside and you call
    Oh James
    Oh you're never too far off

    James
    My little doll
    You just go outside and you call
    Oh James
    No, you're never too far off

    If your fire's out
    There's no need to shout
    I'm always home
    You walk on in
    I'll make you tea and breakfast
    And we both can say, "Who's laughing now?"

    Oh James
    Oh James
    Oh James
    No, you're never too far off (James)
    No, you're never too far off Writer/s: Andrew VanWyngarden, Ben Goldwasser
