Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?"
[Verse 2]
Then the little girl raised up her head
Tears were streamin' down from her eyes
And these are the things
That the little girl said
[Verse 3]
"When your love has ceased to be
[Verse 4]
Lord, have mercy
"There's no other place for me"
If you don't hold me in your arms
Oh child, oh child
[Verse 5]
I'd rather be here from now on
Some people have it halfway fair
Without your love, I ain't nowhere
Oh, I can't eat and I can't sleep
Oh child, oh child
[Verse 6]
Lord, I can't even live in peace
Please take me, baby, for your slave
Oh
And save me from that early grave
Some people have it halfway fair
Without your love, I ain't nowhere
[Verse 7]
And then sorrow struck my heart
Tears began to stream down from my eyes
The only woman that I ever loved in all 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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
"Save me, save me, save me, babe"
"Save me, save me, save me, dear"
Whoa, I don't know just how I made it
[Verse 10]
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
