Oh, you're breaking my spirit and you're hurting my ears Little darling, when I hold you close You have laid in my bed since the day we were wed But when you're sleeping I like you the most
'Cause your voice is a needle on a record that's broke The only one, babe, that you ever play And these days it skips more and it was not that good before
Oh, lord, help me love you, babe Oh, lord, help me love you, babe
Well, long ago, I was foolish, long ago, I was young You were a waitress on Route 13 I was hungry for eggs, back then you had nice legs And the rest is just history
Now your voice is a needle on a record that's broke The only one, babe, that you ever play And these days it skips more and it was not good before
Oh, lord, help me love you, babe Oh, lord, help me love you, babe
Through thick and thin, that's the way that we swore But you ain't been thin since the children were born Oh, lord, how I try, yeah, you know that I do But it ain't easy loving you
'Cause your voice is a needle on a record that's broke The only one, babe, that you ever play And these days it skips more and it was not good before
Oh, lord, help me love you, babe Oh, lord, help me love you, babe Oh, lord, help me love you, babe.
