Janis Joplin Work Me, Lord lyrics

Work me, Lord, work me, Lord
Please don't you leave me
I feel so useless down here with no one to love

Though I've looked everywhere
And I can't find me anybody to love
To feel my care

So ah, work me, Lord, whoa, use me Lord
Don't you know how hard it is
Trying to live all alone

Every day I keep trying to move forward
But something is driving me, oh back
Honey, something's trying to hold on to me
To my way of life

So don't you forget me down here, Lord
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Ah, ah, don't you forget me, Lord

Well, I don't think I'm any very special
Kind of person down here, I know better
But I don't think you're gonna find anybody

Not anybody who could say that they tried like I tried
The worst you can say all about me
Is that I'm never satisfied, whoa

Whoa, oh, oh, work me, Lord, hmm, use me Lord

Please, honey, don't you leave me
I feel so useless down here
I can't find me anybody to love me

And I've looked around
I've looked everywhere, everywhere
And I can't find me anyone to love
To feel my care

So honey, don't you go and leave me, Lord
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Honey, don't you go off and leave me, Lord

Can't I show you how hard it is
Trying to live when you're all alone
Everyday I keep pushing, keep trying to move forward
But something is driving me, oh, back
And something's trying to hold on to me, to my way of life, why?

Oh please, please, oh, don't you go
And forget me down here, don't forget me, Lord
I think that maybe you can ease me
Maybe I can help you, said, uh whoa

Oh please, please, don't you go and leave me Lord
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa please
Hmm please, don't you leave me, Lord
