Tired of Being Alone

won't you help me, girl... just as soon as you can

Al Green / Tired of Being Alone (live, 1972 @ Soul School)




I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
won't you help me, girl
just as soon as you can

People say that I've found a way
to make you say
that you love me
But baby

you didn't go for that
me, it's a natural fact
that I wanna come back
show me where it's at, baby

I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
won't you help me, girl
just as soon as you can

I guess you know that I, uh
love you so
even though
you don't want me no more
hey, hey, hey, I'm cryin' tears
all through the years
I tell you like it is
honey, love me if you can

Ya baby,
tired of being alone here by myself
I tell ya, I'm tired baby
I'm tired of being all wrapt up late at night
in my dreams, nobody but you, baby
Sometimes I wonder,
if you love me like you say you do
You see baby, I've been thinking about you
I've been wanting to get next to you, baby
Sometimes I hold my arms and I say
Mmmmm hmmmm hmmmm
O baby, needing you has proven to me
to be my greatest dream

I'm so tired of being alone,
I'm so tired of on-my-own,
...Sometimes late at night I get to wonderin' about you baby,
Baby, baby, ya...
