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