The Isley Brothers
Save Me From This Misery (Alternate Version)
[Verse 1]
I'm in bad shape since you've been gone
I lay in bed and cry the whole day long
I can feel my mind beginning to crack
Gotta find a way to get you back

[Chorus]
I don't want loneliness to be my destiny
Baby, save me from this misery
Can't sleep, full of thoughts in my head
Feel like I got rocks in my bed
I can't sleep, girl

[Verse 2]
Your lipstick stains on my shirt
Add more pain to my hurt
It affects me deeply, there's no doubt
'Cause it reminds me of a kiss I'll have to do without

[Chorus]
Girl, you gotta have pity on me
Baby, save me from this misery
Oh, I need you so bad
It's straining my heart, it's 'bout to drive me mad

[Verse 3]
Oh, I'm tired of cryin', tossin' and turnin'
These salty tears keep my eyes burning
Bеlieve me, woman, I'm in pitiful shapе
Can't take no more or my heart will surely break
[Chorus]
Your love, woman, is the only remedy
Baby, save me from this misery
Oh, I'm hurtin' so inside
I need your love, I ain't got no pride

[Outro]
(I'm in misery) Girl, I'm so lost without you
(Only you can save me, girl) I need you, need you, need you, yes, I do
(I'm in misery) Gotta find a way to stop these tears
(Only you can save me, girl) Feel like I've been crying for a thousand years
(I'm in misery) Oh, I'm lonesome as can be
