Trust Somebody - Jackie Greene

Mama don’t you weep

take your blankets from the floor

Let your baby sleep

you don’t live here no more

You think you’re drifting deep

but there’s a light upon the shore

you just get tired sometimes

when it’s heavy on your mind

Did somebody hurt you

Did somebody lie

Maybe they desert you

but they cared themselves inside

No matter how it goes down

You can still stand up with pride

you just get tired sometimes

you just get tired

And in the middle of the night time

in the freezing rain

I heard somebody asking was it all worth the pain

But I believe that your darkness

could never move your light

But when you’re blinded

you’re reminded for all that’s wrong in life

Now when you’re out of your mind

working that blind

to turn it around you better trust somebody

look at yourself you like what you see

If you want something else you better trust somebody

Ain’t no one but a stranger to you

but I can show you what love can do

Some got lovin' by the hour

Some got lovin' by the pound

Well I will love you for a lifetime

and I’ll never let you down

Because you know the truth is

We all go round and round

We just get tired sometimes

We just get tired

Well I don’t know about you

but sometimes I feel like it’s a crime

to suffer through the motions

One heartache at a time

But I can tell you still got it

by the look that’s in your eyes

You think it’s missing

but I’m guessing

it’s been there all the time

Now when you’re outta your mind

Working that blind

To turn it around you better trust somebody

Look at yourself

you like what you see

If you want something else

you better trust somebody

Ain’t no one but a stranger to you

But I can show you what love can do

How would you know that you’re alive

Until you died a thousand times

‘Cause even fools like me are wise enough to say

you will have everything

when you give everything away

And now I’m outta of my mind

Working it blind

to turn it around I gotta trust somebody

look at myself I don’t like what I see

I want something else

so I can trust somebody

Ain’t no one but a stranger to you

But I can show you what love can do
