I've done a lot of thinking nI've been sweating all out nI've been down on my knees nFor crying out loud nWake up at night nWith your name on my tongue nBegging for you to forgive nThe wrong things I've done nI can't take another day nLiving it plain nCan't go another round nIt's such lousy pay nGotta get to the call nAnd get it all this way nI'm just sitting her waiting nIt's such a heavy way nnSo lift me up nTake me in your arms nLet me stay this time around nSo lift me up nDon't drag me down nI need your help this time around nnSo sick and tired of all the people nThat don't understand what I'm all about nSo sick and tired of all the dealing nGonna come my way one fine day nnSo sick and tired of all the people nThat don't understand what I'm all about nI know three chords and a bunch of lies nAnd I've learned to live it well nnSo lift me up nTake me in your arms nLet me stay this time around nSo lift me up nDon't drag me down nI need your help this time around nnSo lift me up nTake me in your arms nLet me stay this time around nSo lift me up nDon't drag me down nI need your help this time aroundnI need your help this time around
