Lyrics for Work Me, Lord
Work me, Lord, work me, Lord Please don't you leave me I feel so useless down here With no one to love Though I've looked everywhere And I can't find me anybody to love To feel my care So, oh, oh, work me, Lord Whoa, use me, Lord Don't you know how hard it is, Trying to live all alone? Every day I keep trying to move forward But something is driving me, oh, back Honey, something's trying to hold on to me To my way of life So don't you forget me down here, Lord No, no, no, no, no, no, no... Ah, ah, don't you forget me, Lord Well I don't think I'm any very special Kind of person down here, I know better But I don't think you're gonna find anybody Not anybody who could say that they tried like I tried The worst you can say all about me Is that I'm never satisfied. Whoa! Whoa, oh, oh, work me, Lord, hmm, use me, Lord Please, honey, don't you leave me I feel so useless down here I can't find me anybody to love me And I've looked around I've looked everywhere, everywhere And I can't find me anyone to love To feel my care So honey, don't you go and leave me, Lord No, no, no, no, no, no, no... Honey, don't you go and leave me, Lord Can I show you how hard it is Trying to live when you're all alone? Everyday I keep pushing Keep trying to move forward But something is driving me, oh, back And something's trying to hold on to me To my way of life, why? Oh please, please, oh don't you go and Forget me down here, don't forget me, Lord I think that maybe you can use me, maybe Maybe I can help you, say that, whoa Oh please, please, don't you go and leave me, Lord No, no, no, no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa please Hmm please, don't you leave me, Lord
