I don't know where I'm going
But I sure know where I've been
And all the things I'm a-doing
I'd never do again
Got myself a woman
Just waiting to build a home
Just to have some children, yah
We can call our own
Oooh, help me!
I'm 'bout to lose my soul
Oooooh, woman!
Trying to reach my goal
Some day I'm gonna do things
To prove it to myself
That loving for my woman
Is all that I've got left
I knew it wasn't easy
But things is much too rough
Said, things are so much harder
And things is rougher than tough
Oooh, help me!
I'm 'bout to lose my soul
Oooooh, woman!
Trying to reach my goal
Some day I'm gonna do things
To prove it to myself
That loving for my woman
Is all that I've got left
Oooh, help me!
I'm 'bout to lose my soul
Oooooh, woman!
Trying to reach my goal
Oooh, help me!
I'm 'bout to lose my soul
Oooooh, woman!
Trying to reach my goal
Oooh, help me!
I'm 'bout to lose my soul
Oooooh, woman!
Trying to reach my goal
