Rescue Me from "Jumpin'jack Flash" - Fontella Bass

I was down, I was barely makin' it

She was gone and I couldn’t take it

I was looking for a new way of thinkin'

When I go to sleep, I pray I wouldn’t wake up

Well, I want you, I want you to rescue me

The wheel kept turning, but I stood still

As the shadow looking for the man

Did I play to win or did I win to loose

Of all the cards I had to draw the fool

All people tellin' me about things I do

The more I hear, the less I see the truth

Oh, well, I’m on the edge, I can’t look down

Oh, slippin', slippin', slippin' oh, help

I want you to rescue me, oh, rescue me

Oh, you know I want you

I want you to rescue me, oh, rescue me

A voice faintly callin' from another time

Oh so strange, it sounds like mine

Shades of black and a twisted road

And I can’t see the sky from here

Oh, do I turn around?

I go straight ahead

I can’t stop now, I find the light somewhere

Oh, well, I’m on the edge, I can’t look down

Oh, slippin', slippin', slippin', oh, help

I want you to rescue me, oh, rescue me

You know I want you

I want you to rescue me, oh, rescue me

I want you, I want you to rescue me, oh, rescue me

Oh, you know I want you

I want you to rescue me, oh, rescue me

Oh, you know I want you

I want you to rescue me

Oh, rescue me

Oh, rescue me, oh, rescue me
