I'm brokenhearted, it's my fault
Treated my baby wrong, and I just got to talk
But help me, somebody, I'm a man
Help me, somebody, I believe she just don't understand
I'm trying so hard, trying so hard
I'm trying to do the best I can, oh yes I am

When I, I lay down
I got my baby on my mind, oh yes I have
When I, when I lay down
I got my baby on my mind, oh yeah
I'll think about the good things, and the good times
The way she make me feel so fine

Mmm, I said I'm sitting in the dark, oh now
And I don't, I don't need no light
Oh yes I am, oh yes I am, yes I...
I'm sitting alone in the dark
I want the world to know I don't need no light
I need no light
'Cause I'm wondering, I'm wondering where she's gone
And I'm wondering what, what she's doing tonight
And all I can say, all I can say is
Help me, somebody, help me understand
Help me, somebody, I know that I'm not her man
'Cause I need her, to hold my hand
Then maybe, maybe I'll understand
