I went out to the insane asylum   And I found my baby out there   I said "Please come back to me darlin'   What in the world are you doin' here?"      Then the little girl raised up her head   Tears was streamin' down from her eyes   And these are the things   That the little girl said      "When your love has ceased to be   (Lord have mercy)   There's no other place for me   (Mmm mmm)   If you don't hold me in your arms   (Oh child oh child)   I'd rather be here from now on"      "Some people have it halfway fare   Without your love I ain't nowhere"      "Oh I can't eat and I can't sleep   (Oh child oh child)   Lord I can't even live in peace   (Mmm mmm)   Please take me baby for your slave   (Oh oh)   And save me from that early grave"      "Some people have it halfway fare   Without your love I ain't nowhere"      And then sorrow struck my heart   Tears began to stream down from my eyes   The only woman that I ever loved in all my life   Out here in a place in a condition like this      And I began to thinkin' about   What my mama told me when I was a little boy   She told me when I couldn't help myself   To get down on my knees and pray      Then I fell down on my knees   And these are the words that I said      "Save me save me save me, babe   Save me save me save me, dear   Whoa, I don't know just how I made it   But I'm so glad our love is here   But I'm so glad our love is here   But I'm so glad our love is here"
