I've done a lot of thinking
I've been sweating all out
I've been down on my knees
For crying out loud
Wake up at night
With your name on my tongue
Begging for you to forgive
The wrong things I've done
I can't take another day
Living it plain
Can't go another round
It's such lousy pay
Gotta get to the call
And get it all this way
I'm just sitting her waiting
It's such a heavy way

So lift me up
Take me in your arms
Let me stay this time around
So lift me up
Don't drag me down
I need your help this time around

So sick and tired of all the people
That don't understand what I'm all about
So sick and tired of all the dealing
Gonna come my way one fine day

So sick and tired of all the people
That don't understand what I'm all about
I know three chords and a bunch of lies
And I've learned to live it well

So lift me up
Take me in your arms
Let me stay this time around
So lift me up
Don't drag me down
I need your help this time around

So lift me up
Take me in your arms
Let me stay this time around
So lift me up
Don't drag me down
I need your help this time around
I need your help this time around
