You use the love to quench your desire
You play with me, you play with fire
I'd give my heart to take you higher
This is my only one desire
We can't get along
And you won't come home

There's a day I caught you in his arms
Seducing him with all your charms
You know you really hurt me so
I need you and I won't let go

Can't get away, babe
Can't get along, mama
Can't get away, babe
Oh, you hurt me so

Ooh-ooh, babe
You got me cryin' in my sleep
I close my eyes it's you I see
You're not with someone else, I know
My heart says not to let you go
Oh babe, my heart is stronger than my soul
You hurt my head down to my toes
I won't let go, you make me wild
You leave me girl, you know I'll die

Can't get away, babe
Can't let you go, mama
I can't get away, babe
Oh, you hurt me so
Can't get away, babe
Can't let you go, mama
Can't get away, babe
Oh, you hurt me so

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Lord help us so You help these so
You need me then You lead me, here's my place to go
Lord help us, You help these, You help me
Can't get away, babe

You made it hurt
So deep in my soul

Oh no, no, no
Can't get away, babe
Can't get away, babe
Can't let you go, mama
Baby, you hurt me so
Can't get away, babe
Can't let you go, mama
Can't get away, babe
You hurt me so
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I'll be cryin' in my sleep
In my sleep
Oh, oh, baby
