My name


Judging me correctly you named me..me

As I grew up I fell in love with me 

Now I can't live without the name you gave to me

Every time I hear you call I smile gratefully

Love is what my name means

Love is what I'll be

Every name is every other person

 

Knowing my name is knowing me

Yes I can't live without my name 

Let me Just say why

Every time you say Janelle I know it (my name) is mine.
