I’m tired of running
From town to town
Now I’m ready to stop, y’all
And settle down
Cause it’s a life of misery
When you’re alone
And I’ve got to have somebody
To call my own
Oh, baby, let me love you
Whoa, baby, I wanna love you
I need to love you, girl
I’ll be your water
When your well goes dry
And your good loving man, honey
Til the day I die
I’ll be your shelter, yes, I will
Whenever it rains
And like Dr. Feelgood
I can ease your pain
Hey, baby, I wanna love you
Whoa, baby
I’ve got to love you, girl
I need to love you
Listen here
I need you and want you
So come on, girl
Let’s find some happiness
In this old world
Lord knows I’m gonna carry you
Baby, by myself
I’ve got to have you
And nobody else
Oh, baby, I wanna love you
Whoa, baby
I need to love you, girl
I’ve got to love you
Now come here, baby
Why don’t you hold my hand
You know I’m gonna do The very best I can
Lord knows I need you
Right by my side, girl
With love and affection
To keep me satisfied
Oh, Lord, I’m tired of running
From town to town
That’s why I want you, girl
To help me settle down
