JANIS JOPLIN - Work Me, Lord ( in album woodstock ) lyrics

rate me

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 ah Lord, work me, Lord,

Whoa, oh use me Lord,

Can't I show how hard it is

Trying to live when you're all alone.

Every day I keep trying to move forward,

But something is driving me, oh, back,

Something's trying to hold on to me,

To my way of life.

So, oh don't you forget me down here, Lord,

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

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 can say that they tried like I tried,

The worst that you can say all about me

Is that I'm never satisfied, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, oh, oh, work me, Lord,

Oh daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, 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, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Oh, Lord.

Can't I show you how hard it is

Trying to live when you're all alone.

Every day I keep pushing,

I keep trying to move forward

But something is driving me, oh, back,

Something's trying to hold on to me,

To my way of life, why.

Oh, please, oh whoa, oh whoa.

Oh please, please don't you go and forget me, Lord

Now don't forget me, Lord

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Whoa, whoa, please, oh daddy, no, no, no, no, please, ah,

Oh no, no, no, no, don't you go and leave me,

Honey I wanna reach out, I wanna

I said I wanna hold on to you

Well, you're never there

You don't turn me off, man,

I said reach out to hold on to my man

I said daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy,

Don't you go

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Honey don't you leave me

I said when I wanted to pay now

Oh daddy when I want to leave me now

Don't you go and leave, leave, leave

I'm talkin' to my, my man, yeah!

And my man

Ask my daddy now now

If that's what my daddy wants

I said don't you leave

Oh, I said my love.

Thank you very much.
