Tears was streamin' down from her eyes
I'd rather be here from now on"
(Lord have mercy)
"Some people have it halfway fare
And these are the words that I said
And save me from that early grave"
"Oh I can't eat and I can't sleep
But I'm so glad our love is here
And I began to thinkin' about
But I'm so glad our love is here
"Some people have it halfway fare
"Save me save me save me, babe
What in the world are you doin' here?"
If you don't hold me in your arms
Without your love I ain't nowhere"
Then I fell down on my knees
And these are the things
Lord I can't even live in peace
(Oh oh)
Without your love I ain't nowhere"
Tears began to stream down from my eyes
Save me save me save me, dear
Whoa, I don't know just how I made it
Then the little girl raised up her head
"When your love has ceased to be
I said "Please come back to me darlin'
Please take me baby for your slave
What my mama told me when I was a little boy
And then sorrow struck my heart
The only woman that I ever loved in all my life
(Mmm mmm)
That the little girl said
She told me when I couldn't help myself
(Oh child oh child)
There's no other place for me
Out here in a place in a condition like this
To get down on my knees and pray
(Oh child oh child)
(Mmm mmm)
