[Intro]
Can anybody find me
Somebody to love?
[Verse 1]
Ooh, each mornin' I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
(Take a look at yourself in the mirror and cry)
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord, what you do to me? (Yeah, yeah)
I've spent all my years in believin' you (Ooh)
But I just can't get no relief, Lord

[Verse 2]
I work hard (He works hard) every day of my life
I work 'till I ache my bones
At the end (At the end of the day) I take home
My hard-earned pay all on my own
(Goes home, goes home on his own)
I go down (Down) on my knees (Knees) and I start to pray (Praise the Lord)
'Till the tears run down from my eyes, Lord (Ooh)

Ooh, somebody (Please)
Can anybody find me
Somebody to love?

I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down (Ooh)
They say I'm goin' crazy (Ooh)
They say I got a lot of water in my brain (Ah)
I got no common sense
(He's got) I got nobody left to believe
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Someone to love?)
[Verse 3]
Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losin' my beat (You just keep losing and losing)
I'm okay, I'm alright (He's alright, he's alright)
I ain't gonna face no defeat (Yeah, yeah)
I just gotta get out of this prison cell (Ooh)
(One day) Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord
