PAUL MCCARTNEY
(Used To Know My Name)
By Mychael John Thomas

It was nineteen seventy eight
I was sittin’ in the top of the Tree
Everything was looking great
Had a Buddy who was V I P
I was doing Hard Work and that’s when he said
There you go boy…Don’t let it got to your head
I called a friend who’s big in the game…
And Paul McCartney knows your name...Yeah
He said Paul McCartney knows your name...

He knows a guy in New York city
And he can make your dreams come true
It gets down to the real nitty gritty
And what’re you prepared to do
So I sang my heart out…They said you’re gonna be
A real big star but it don’t happen for free
I knew my life would never be the same
They said Paul McCartney knows your name…Yeah
Paul McCartney used to know my name...Yeah
Paul McCartney used to know my name...

BRIDGE
Then one night I had a Neon Dream
CW said Man this changes everything
Word got around and it happened so fast
How was I to know…It was never gonna last

SOLO

Well the show sold out in every town
But not many got to see
‘Cause not one ticket left to be found
It was all just a fantasy

Then my time ran out and that’s when I went
Back to the street…Anything to pay my rent
The party was gone just as quick as it came
But Paul McCartney knew my name…Yeah
Paul McCartney used to know my name
Paul McCartney used to know my name…Yeah
Paul McCartney used to know my name
Paul McCartney used to know my name…Yeah

‘ey Paul…Waddya say?
Thank you for helpin’ ol’ Mychael J
I’m sure you don’t remember but I sure do
So I’m sending out this song for you…Paul McCartney...
Paul McCartney...Paul McCartney...Paul McCartney...
Used to know my name

Paul McCartney used to know my name…Yeah
Paul McCartney used to know my name…Aw yeah
Paul McCartney used to know my name…I said
Paul McCartney used to know my name…
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...
