I wanna write a love song
But I ain’t got no love to give
She got me high and left me dry
Oh, it’s just the life I live
I’ve been needing help with the pain of living
Oh, I just don’t know how
Lord, oh Lord, I’m a man of giving
Give me the strength to turn round
I read my horoscope last night
And no, I don’t believe in that shit
But cross my heart and hope to die
Boy, was it accurate
I climbed that cliff that we jumped off
Late on a Saturday night
I hopped that tape and I walked on down
Boy, it was a hell of a hike
I need you right now
‘Cause my feet won’t touch the ground
And I already know how it feels to be low
So I held my heart with an open fist
And I clenched real tight until my hands lost grip
I took my pen and sat right down
Ready to write a song
But sitting right there was a group of boys
Ready to hit the bong
The song it got away from me
Man, was that night a blur
We talked and talked and it soothed my thoughts of
Just how much I loved that girl
I need you right now
‘Cause my feet won’t touch the ground
And I already know how it feels to be low
So I took my cross down
I wanna write a love song
But I ain’t got no love to give
She got me high and left me dry
Oh, it’s just the life I live
I’ve been needing help with the pain of living
Oh, I just don’t know how
Lord, oh Lord, I’m a man of giving
Give me the strength to turn round
Give me the strength to turn round
