Oh, I'm so alone.
Hey daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, now.
No, no, no!

Alright!

Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord!

Hon, when I'm sittin' round late in the evenin', child,
Wonderin' why, why, why did I ever leave, whoa, yeah.
Sit around, I'm a-wonderin'
Why, why did I ever leave,

Hey, I gotta know now.
Well, I went out searchin' for somethin', baby,
I left it behind me, honey, now I see, yeah.
Well alright, well alright.

Well I guess I move once too often, babe,
An' I woke up and found myself alone.
Whoa, I guess I moved just one too many times,
Woke up an' found myself alone,

Hey, I don't like it!
Cold sheets made me realize
Catch me, daddy, 'cause I'm movin' on.
Hey, hey, whoaaa!

Come on up, come on up, come up I've got to move on
Come on up, because I've got to go
Because you know I got to find me my baby, yeah
I got to find me my baby, yeah

You know I got to find me my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've got to find me my man, come on,
Come, take it on down, take it on down now,

A little softer babe, said a little softer babe,
S-s-s-softer now, you like it like that,
Said I like it like that,
Feels so good to me, feels so good to me, yeah, yeah

I like it like that, yeah I like it like that.
Honey, I want to kneel till I get to ya,

I want to tell you something baby
I want to tell you something baby now
I want to tell you about my baby, Lord
Tell you 'bout my man.

You know, I want ya, need ya, I gotta have ya
'Cause I want ya need ya, 'cause I gotta have ya
'Cause this my-my-my-my-my-my-my-man
My-my-my-my-my-my-my-man now.

Said I want you I need you, babe I've gotta have you,
I want you I need you, babe I've gotta have you,
I've been lonely in the morning
Hon, I've been lonely at night.

I've been lonely in the afternoon
I said, "Janis, you know it ain't right".

Baby, it's time you would hold me
Yeah, hey, comin' home, babe,
Yeah, hey, comin' home, babe,
Yeah, yeah, comin' home, babe
Yeah, yeah, comin' home, babe
Yeah, yeah, comin' home, baby.
Whoa!

Oh, I might take a plane, baby,
Oh, I might take a train, baby.
Oh, I guess I might finally walk in there,
'Cause I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,

I say alright!
Yeah!
Ooh!
Hey!

I said I'm goin' on down to Brownsville
Gonna take, take, take your ride and roll,
Whoa, if you see me my baby, comin', oh, come on, comin' home,
Alright!
