Work me, Lord,
|
Work me, Lord.
|
Please don't you leave me,
|
I feel so useless down here
|
With no one to love
|
Though I've looked everywhere
|
And I can't find me anybody to love,
|
To feel my care.
|
|
So ah Lord, work me, Lord,
|
Whoa, oh use me Lord,
|
Can't I show how hard it is
|
Trying to live when you're all alone.
|
Every day I keep trying to move forward,
|
But something is driving me, oh, back,
|
Something's trying to hold on to me,
|
To my way of life.
|
|
So, oh don't you forget me down here, Lord,
|
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
|
Ah, don't you forget me, Lord.
|
Well I don't think I'm any very special
|
Kind of person down here, I know better,
|
But I don't think you're gonna find anybody,
|
Not anybody who can say that they tried like I tried,
|
The worst that you can say all about me
|
Is that I'm never satisfied, whoa, whoa, whoa.
|
|
Whoa, oh, oh, work me, Lord,
|
Oh daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, use me, Lord.
|
Please, honey, don't you leave me,
|
I feel so useless down here.
|
I can't find me anybody to love me
|
And I've looked around,
|
I've looked everywhere, everywhere
|
And I can't find me anyone to love,
|
To feel my care.
|
|
So honey don't you go and leave me, Lord,
|
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
|
Oh, Lord.
|
Can't I show you how hard it is
|
Trying to live when you're all alone.
|
Every day I keep pushing,
|
I keep trying to move forward
|
But something is driving me, oh, back,
|
Something's trying to hold on to me,
|
To my way of life, why.
|
Oh, please, oh whoa, oh whoa.
|
|
Oh please, please don't you go and forget me, Lord
|
Now don't forget me, Lord
|
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
|
Whoa, whoa, please, oh daddy, no, no, no, no, please, ah,
|
Oh no, no, no, no, don't you go and leave me,
|
Honey I wanna reach out, I wanna
|
I said I wanna hold on to you
|
Well, you're never there
|
You don't turn me off, man,
|
I said reach out to hold on to my man
|
I said daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy,
|
Don't you go
|
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
|
Honey don't you leave me
|
I said when I wanted to pay now
|
Oh daddy when I want to leave me now
|
Don't you go and leave, leave, leave
|
I'm talkin' to my, my man, yeah!
|
And my man
|
Ask my daddy now now
|
If that's what my daddy wants
|
I said don't you leave
|
Oh, I said my love.
|
|
Thank you very much.
