Lyrics

Now folks, I wanna talk just a little bit about looking for love. We
All need love, we all seek love. We all go to different places to
Try to find love. Now I know a lot of you people out there might go
To the bars and the nightclubs looking for love. You might have a few
Drinks and buy somebody else a few drinks hoping that that might be
The special person that'll take you home that night and be your one
True love. Some of you other people might go to the grocery store
Looking for love. You might get that shopping cart and just put one
Totino's pizza and a 40-ouncer of malt liquor in that cart hoping
That some poor girl will take pity on you and take you home
And you'll find love that way. Some of y'all out there might
Go to church to try to find love. You'll act all pious and
Religious and stuff like that hoping to look like a good person
And meet somebody and then not 'til they bring you home will
They find out that you were just fooling 'em. But I didn't go
To any of those places to find my true love. I'm gonna tell
You right now about where I had to go to find that one true love
Oh I went out to the insane asylum
And I found my baby down there
Ooh she was so cold and miserable
I said "What in the world are you doing in there?"
Then the little girl raised up her head
Tears were streaming down from her eyes
And these are the words that the little girl said
When your love has ceased to be
Well there's no other place for me
If you won't hold me in your arms
I want to stay here from now on
Some people have it halfway there
Without your love I ain't nowhere
Well I can't eat and I can't sleep
And I can't even live in peace
Oh baby take me for your slave
And save me from an early grave
Some people have it halfway there
Without your love I ain't nowhere
And then sorrow struck my heart
Tears began to stream from down my eyes
To see the only woman that I ever loved in all my life
Stuck here in a place in a condition like this
And I began to think about what my
Mama told me when I was a little boy
She said "Son, when things get so desperate
So hopeless, so lonely
There's only one thing you can do
And that's to get down on your knees and pray"
So I got down on my knees
Yeah I got down on my knees
And these are the words that I said
Save me, save me, save me baby
Well save me, save me, save me dear
But I'm so glad our love is here
Oh, I'm so glad our love is here
Lord, Lord, yeah
I'm so glad our love is here
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
I'm so glad our love is here
Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, I'm so glad our love is here
Oh, oh, oh yeah
Thank you! Woo! It's so good to be here at Key Largo and see all of
You out there. Thank you for being a part of this. We're taking bets
On how long my hair will stay this size. Yeah. I used a lot of
Hairspray, but I'm thinking probably by the end of the
First set it'll start getting wimpy. Hoo. I watched
Oprah and she had those Texas girls on with the big
Hair and I just got competitive, I don't know. Thank you
