[Intro]
Oh yeah!

[Verse 1]
Well, I turned left just like you told me to
Mmm, I get excited by the moves you do
I'm on a mission and I'm gonna get away
Well, I saw her standing all colored in red
I felt the blues just by the things she said
I want my mission so I can escape today (Yeah!)

[Chorus]
(God knows) I ain't sleeping but I want my line
God knows I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight
Oh brother, can you help me out?
(God knows) I've got nothing so accept my time
God knows it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight
Oh brother, can you help me out?
Brother, can you help me out?
Oh brother, can you help me out?

[Verse 2]
Well, I turned the page from number three to four
You had nothing on you by my bedroom door
You had your mission, now I'm gonna get away
Oh, when this is over and our souls are saved
When I am buried, when I've got my own cave
I've done my mission, so I won't be here today (Yeah!)
[Chorus]
(God knows) I ain't sleeping but I want my line
God knows I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight
Oh brother, can you help me out?
(God knows) I've got nothing so accept my time
God knows it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight
Oh brother, can you help me out?
Brother, can you help me out?
Oh brother, can you help me out?
Oh brother, can you help me out?

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Oh, I turned right just like I thought you would
I got excited like you said I would
Oh, I'm on a mission and I'm getting blown away
Well, I saw her standing all colored in red
I felt the blues just by the things she said
I want my mission so I can escape today

[Chorus]
(God knows) I ain't sleeping but I want my line
God knows I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight
Oh brother, can you help me out?
(God knows) I've got nothing so accept my time
God knows it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight
Oh brother, can you help me out?
Brother, can you help me out?
Oh brother, can you help me out?
Oh brother, can you help me out?
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah! (Yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, yeah! (Yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, yeah! (Yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, yeah! (Yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, yeah!
Oh, all right
