I know I've done you wrong
I could have been a better man
I've been down and out so long
tryin' to help this situation that we're in
you can call my name every time you need a helpin' hand
yeah baby I ain't rich but I'm gonna do what I can
so darlin' don't be too hard on me

they say that love can last
well I wanna prove that theory right
my body tremble bad
I got to have you day and night
you can stay the same
baby I'll do all the changin'
if your heart will give you what it takes
baby to face me

we're livin' in a jungle
where the lions turn
they're clawin' at my feelin's
I think I'm gonna bleed to death
so help me to my feet
my knees have just about worn thin
just get me to a doctor and maybe he can give me somethin'
