Lyrics

I went out
To the insane asylum
And I found
My baby up there
I said please
Please come back to me darling
What in the world are you doing here
Then the little boy
Raised his head
Tears were streaming down his face
And these are the things
And these are the things
And these are the things
The little boy said
When your lovers cease to be
There is no other place for me
If you don't take me as your own
I'd rather be here from home
Some people have it halfway fair
Without your love I ain't nowhere
But I can't eat and I can't sleep
I can't even rest in peace
Please take me as your slave
Save me from an early grave
And then sorrow
Struck my heart
Tears began to roll down from my eyes
The only man
That I ever loved
In a condition
Out here in a place like this
And I began thinking
And I began thinking
And I began thinking
About what my mother told me
When things get too bad
There's only one thing that you can do
So I got down on my knees and prayed
Save me baby
Save me dear
I just don't know how we'll make it
But I'll be here from now on
Save me save me save me baby
Save me save me save me dear
I just don't know how I will make it
Without your love I ain't nowhere
Some people have it halfway fair
Without your love I ain't nowhere
But I can't eat and I can't sleep
I can't even rest in peace
Please please please please please
Take me as your slave
And save me from an early grave
