Work Me Lord
Janis Joplin
"Work Me Lord" Intro: 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.
