Need someone's hand to lead me through the night I need someone's arms to hold and squeeze me tight Now, when the night begins, whoa, I'm at an end Because I need your love so bad I need some lips to feel next to mine Need someone to stand up - to stand up and tell me when I'm lyin' And when the lights are low - and it's time to go That's when I need your love so bad So why don't you give it up, baby and bring it home to me Or write it on a piece of paper, woman - so it can be read to me Tell me that you love me - and stop drivin' me mad Whoa, because I - I need your love so bad Need a soft voice - just to talk to me at night Don't want you to worry, baby I know we can make everything alright Listen to my plea, baby, come on bring it to me 'Cause I need - your love so bad Baby, I need, I need - woman, I need your love so bad |

Once upon a time, a long long time ago, wherever you'd lead me, I would surely follow
Girl, you put me through some pain and misery And now you are standing on my doorstep, telling me how much you need me Baby, ain't nobody home (Chorus: nobody's home) Ain't nobody home (Chorus: nobody's home) How many times I begged for you to come home, but you laughed at me and said let me alone Through my falling tears I saw you walk away And now you're beggin' me to forgive you, but this time, baby, it's your turn to beg Baby, ain't nobody home (Chorus: nobody's home) Ain't nobody home (Chorus: nobody's home) Girl, I used to love you, placed no one else above you Gave you everything that I own Girl, you can't come back here Ain't nobody home (Chorus: nobody's home) Once upon a time, when you went on your way But, girl, I hoped and prayed, that you'd come back some day But time has made some changes, turned me upside down So, you can beg me to forgive you, but this time, baby, you can turn right around Ain't nobody home Ain't nobody home Girl, you hurt me once (Chorus: ain't nobody home) I hear you knockin' (Chorus: ain't nobody home) |

Three days of snow in Birmingham
Thought you would wonder where I am Rang our number all night long It's no comfort on the telephone Ran out and caught a midnight flight Thought a little love would make everything all right The landlord said, "You moved away" And left me all your bills to pay" Look out baby, you might have made your move too soon Left me with a Keno card This life in Vegas sure ain't hard I ran it up to about fifty grand Cashed it in and held it in my hand That kind of word can get around And make a lost love come up found I hear you knocking baby at my door But you know you ain't living here no more It's too bad I think you made your move too soon I've been from Spain to Tokyo From Africa to Ohio I never tried to make the news I'm just a man who plays the blues I take my lovin' everywhere I came back, and they still care you know One love ahead One love behind One in my arms and one on my mind It's one thing baby I never make my move too soon I've been from Spain to Tokyo From Africa to Ohio I never tried to make the news I'm just a man who plays the blues I take my lovin' everywhere I come back, you know they still all care One love ahead and one behind One in my arms you know, one on my mind And it's one thing people I never make my move too soon |
