Well, I told you, pretty baby
Such a long time ago
If I found you with another
Well, I'd walk right out your door
Whoa, you might call me crazy
But there's one thing you should know
Well, if you want me to love you
You've got to give it up or let me go
I know it's useless to be jealous
I couldn't tire you if I tried
But when I think of you messing behind my back
It brings a pain I just can't hide
Oh, baby, I've been true to you
And if I can make that sacrifice
Honey, you can do it too
Well, you come home drunk and nasty
You won't tell me where you've been
Just when things are nice and sweet
You go back out again
Why do you wanna mess up a good thing?
I'm gonna find me another man
One who wants to give me everything
Well, I told you, pretty baby
Such a long time ago
If I found you with another
Well, I'd walk right out your door
You might call me crazy
One thing you should know
Oh, honey, if you want me to love you
You've got to give it up or let me go
Oh, give it up now, boy
That's right
Oh, shake it, don't brake it

It seems like such a long time since I held you in my arms
And felt you close and warm beside me
Another night is getting late
And I'm alone with just the ache
And the memory of you beside me
Darling, I've never been so blue
I've tried to see it through
There's nothing I can do
I won't make it on my own
So won't you please hurry home?
'Cause nothing seems to matter without you
The last time I saw you, there was nothing we could say
We knew it was a time for a change
"A time to think", you said that night
And I lied and said, "Alright"
And I left you in the morning
I watched you in the window
And Mexico will never be the same
It was time to be apart
But somehow it seems this heart of mine
Will never find a way to live without you
And now I'm out here on the road
And I'm feeling bought and sold
And tonight I just can't but think about you
Darling, I've never been so blue
I've tried to see it through
There's nothing I can do
I won't make it on my own
So darling, won't you hurry home?
'Cause nothing seems to matter without you
No, nothing seems to matter without you

I know you don't love me no more
No, no more, and I don't
(Don't) want to be hurt anymore
Anymore, yeah, yeah
I've loved so hard, everything I did was no joy, if I can't
Love you right, baby, I don't have to love you at all
I know you don't want me no more, no more
No, no more
And it had to be someone loving you more
Lovin' you more
Ain't no use in me cryin' now, all because you have put me down
If you don't want me no more, baby, ain't no use in me hanging around

If you got to make a fool of somebody
If you got to make a fool of someone
Do you really gotta hurt me
I'm the one that'll worry
If you got to make a fool of somebody
If you got to make a fool of someone
Do you really gotta hurt me
I'm the one that'll worry
Daytime night time
Anytime at all
I'll be there waiting
Anytime you call
Just to be near you
You know
That anywhere I'll go
How could you hurt me so

These men that I've been seeing, baby
Got their soul up on a shelf
You know they could never love me
When they can't even love themselves
But I need someone to love me
Someone to really understand
Who won't put himself above me
Who just loves me like a man
I never seen such losers darlin'
Even though I try
To find a man who could take me home
'Stead of taking me for a ride
And I need someone to love me
I know you can
Believe me when I tell you
You can love me like a man
They all want me to rock them
Like my back ain't got no bone
I want a man to rock me
Like my backbone was his own
And darlin', I know you can
Believe me when I tell you
You can love me like a man
I come home sad and lonely
Feel like I wanna cry
I want a man to hold me
Not some fool to ask me why
And I need someone to love me
And darlin', I know you can
Don't you put yourself above me
You just love me like a man

Jesus cried, wept and died
I guess He went up to heaven
I've been downtown such a long, long time
I'll never make it home by seven
Won't you come and take me home?
I've been too long at the fair
And Lord, I just can't stand it anymore
Well, I went down to Jason's
Walked till my feet got sore
But I never knew what laughin' was
Till you walked out the door
Won't you come and take me home?
I've been too long at the fair
And Lord, I just can't stand it anymore
You can give my soul to Abraham
Give my soul to Saul
You give my bones to Canada
My teeth, they don't hurt at all
I don't know who made the highway
I guess that's just my pride
But I have heard the Prince of Darkness
On his charger ride
The silver blade is gleamin'
The scales are in his hands
I swear that night is fallin'
Don't you lose another man
Won't you come and take me home?
I've been too long at the fair
And Lord, I just can't stand it anymore
Lord, I just can't stand it anymore

Warm and lovely mystery, fire smiling through
Before this moment fades away I want to know you
I've got lightening in my pocket, thunder in my shoe
Have no fear, I've got something here I want to show you
Low, under the falling sky
Easily we will lie
While I bring it to you
It's a low road, a high wire going from me to you
And in your eyes the distance left is closing
I've got a feeling in my oceans, blood underneath my skin
That into your bright fields this prison is opening, yeah
Our shadows wake each day though they don't know why
They hope and try, live and die
So leave them in their frozen world
Come and be my lover
If only for one stolen moment
We will live forever
Warm and lovely mystery, can you hear the choir?
The voices can no longer hold my desire
Just abandon your sad history, meet me in the fire
Angels wait to take me higher and higher
Higher and higher
Higher and higher
Higher and higher

You can make me do what you wanna do
But you got to know how,
You can make me cry, you can make me sigh,
But you got to know how,
You can make me do like this, you can make me do like that,
Woh, baby, but you got to know how.
Once a pal of mine stole a guy of mine,
But I got him back, now,
It's the same old song, she couldn't keep him long,
'Cause she didn't know how.
Well, I love my man, I make him holler,
Woh, my,
Yessir, I really know how.
Technique ain't tough, if you care enough,
You can learn to know how,
I might drop a hint how to strike my flint
If you yearn to know how,
Well, don't tell me about the life you led,
Don't try to drink me into bed,
No, baby, no, that ain't the way how.
You got to take your time, you know it ain't no crime
If it lasts all night.
I think you'll be ideal when you begin to feel
That you're doin' right.
When you love me right, you hear me holler,
Woh, my,
Yessir, when you really know how.
And if you stay with me, who knows how it will be
When we finally know how,
We'll get a house in town, no need to move around
When we really know how,
Well, there's tricks that I don't even know,
Ones we'll make up as we go.
Woh, mister, when we really know how.
Yes, mister, when we really know how.

Told me, baby, you were just too tired to try
There was nothing left for you to give
And no more tears to cry
I know she hurt you
But you know I've been hurt too
You just come to me
We'll see what a love can do
Told me, baby, I was still too young to know
All the ways that love was gonna drag you down
And just how low I'd go
In love and time between us
Makes no difference at all
You know, you're as desperate to get back up
As I am not to fall
Baby, I've been looking for a man like you
Oh, darling, after all we've been through
There's no one left to fool, nothing left for us to do
Except me and you
Told me, baby, to find somebody new
Do you really think that I'd come this far
Just to lose a man like you?
You know, you've got to take a chance
If only you will stay
And if you've got the time baby, I've got the love
We might just find a way
We might just find a way
We might just find a way
We might just find a way

I've had bad dreams too many times
To think that they don't mean much anymore
Fine times have gone and left my sad home
Friends who once cared just walk out my door
Love has no pride when I call out your name
Love has no pride when there's no one left to blame
I'd give anything to see you again
I've been alone too many nights
To think that you could come back again
And I've heard you talk, "she's crazy to stay"
But this love hurts me so, I don't care what you say
Love has no pride when I call out your name
Love has no pride when there's no one left to blame
I'd give anything to see you again
If I could buy your love, I'd truly try, my friend
And if I could pray, my prayer would never end
But if you want me to beg, I'll fall down on my knees
Asking for you to come back, I'd be pleading for you to come back
Begging for you to come back to me
Love has no pride when I call out your name
Love has no pride when there's no one but myself to blame
I'd give anything to see you again
Yes, I'd give anything to see you again
