I had to go, I had I had no other choice Things went bad, left a bad taste In my mouth I've been praying all night, all night long For something a little better Seems god's tuned to another station He knows I'm stuck on that same old song and dance Please believe me when I say I care Even if the record doesn't show it Trust me when I say I'll be there Even if I've never been there See I'm going through hard times Paying for crimes I committed so long ago What I need now is some understanding Or maybe just somebody who understands me Oh, oh, la la la la la la Cover me in warm hemp blankets until I can no longer see the sun Make it cold and dark outside Could you do me, could you do me the favor Of reaching through, reaching to me so I can reach you Could you do me the favor of touching me so I know you love me Oh, I've been trying so hard Trying so hard I've been trying hard
