My fate has been sealed, my fate has been shown

It's left me no shield, it's left me alone

The lonely one's weak, but doesn't lay down

The lonely one speaks when no one's around

It's cold when you're outside and warm when you're in

I've followed my instincts, so life is my sin

Love is my witness, love is my truth

Lord is the judge for me and for you

Alone

And I got no friends to call, oh no

If you can't, then no one can save me

I'm tired of waiting now, baby

You gotta let me know, gotta let me know, you gotta let me know

If you can't, then no one can save me

I'm tired of waiting now, baby

You gotta let me know, gotta let me know, you gotta let me know

If you can't, then no one can save me

You gotta let me know now, baby

You gotta let me know, gotta let me know, you gotta let me know

Ooh, baby, my love is for real

Oh, yes, girl, it's gonna make me feel

Ooh, baby, my love is for real

Oh, yes, girl, it's gonna make me feel

Ooh, baby, my love is for
