Lyrics:

I went out to the insane asylum
And I found my baby out there
I said please, come back to me darlin'
What in the world are you doin' here?

Then the little girl her head up
Tears was streamin' down from her eyes
Listen, these are the things
That the little girl said

When your love has ceased to be
There's no other place for me (Oh)
If you don't hold me in your arms (Oh child, oh child)
I'd rather be here from now on

Some people have it halfway fair
Without your love I ain't nowhere

Oh, I can't eat and I can't sleep (Oh child, oh child)
Lord I can't even live in peace (Mmmm)
Please take me baby for your slave (Ooh)
And save me from an early grave

Some people have it halfway fair
Without your love I ain't nowhere

And then sorrow struck my heart
And tears began to stream down from my eyes
Because the only woman that I ever loved in all my life
Out here in a place like this and in a condition like she was
And I began to thinkin' about what my mama told me when I was a little boy

She told me when I couldn't help myself,
To get down on my knees and pray
Then I fell down on my knees
And these are the words that I said:

Save me save me save me babe,
Save me save me save me dear,
Well, I don't know just how I made
Well I'm so glad our love is here
Well I'm so glad our love is here
