Ahhh, I'm down, aww, and I feel All the way down, all the way down Aint had no good lovin' Lovin little girl In quite a long time, quite a long time And you see, and you see Girl it's a fight, honey don't you know? I need you tonight I'm hooked on your lovin' C'mon, c'mon and fix me up. Aww, baby I need somebody to fill this empty cup I'm stuck out in nowhere Nowhere, Nowhere And nowhere in love just can't be fair Aww, baby, I'm so tired of the squeeze Girl, ohh, please I'm down on my knees And I'm prayin' help Ohh, Baby, somebody, please Ah, girl, could you help me To get back on my feet If you could would you help Somebody please Ah, girl It's tough Woman don't you?
