  • 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
    And you know 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 well-heeled 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 of 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, your 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
    She called me Bruce Writer/s: RICK SPRINGFIELD
