Baby baby black & blue time sure took a toll on you
What you what you gonna do tomorrow
Oh the world has got you down cry your heart out on the ground
Gimme strength to pick you up and keep you from dying
Give me strength and give me love
I can never have enough
All I want is someone who will never stop trying
Baby baby black & blue time sure took a toll on you
What you, what you gonna do tomorrow
I don't wanna see you cry got to make you realize
You got more to give me than your sorrow
Yes, yes, yes, yes you do now
Yes, yes, yes, baby, yes you do now
Yes, oh yes, yes you do
Oh yes, yes, yes, yes,
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes you do
Far away in my first dream visions that are lost to me
Touch me when I'm touching you ever so gently
Can you feel it yes you can
Just give me your little hand
I will show you someone that you never thought you'd be
Baby baby black & blue time sure took a toll on you
What you, what you gonna do tomorrow
I don't wanna see you cry got to make you realize
You got more to give me than your sorrow
Yes, yes, yes, yes you do now
Yes, yes, yes, baby, yes you do now
Yes, oh yes, yes you do
Oh yes, yes, yes you do
There's a big door with a little window
And the big world is peekin' through
Lay your head here on my pillow
I want to take care of you
There's a big door with a little window
And the big wide world is peekin' through
Lay your head on my pillow
I want to take care of you
Yes, yes, yes, yes I do now
Yes, yes, yes, baby, yes I do now
Yes, oh yes, yes I do
Oh yes, yes, yes, yes,
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes I do
Oh the world has got you down cry your heart out on the ground
Gimme strength to pick you up, pick you up, pick you up
Oh the world has got you down cry your heart out on the ground
Gimme strength to pick you up, pick you up, pick you up
Baby baby black & blue time sure took a toll on you
What you, what you gonna do tomorrow
I don't wanna see you cry got to make you realize
You got more to give me than your sorrow
