Rescue

Now I had this friend, she came to me and she said

"West, (West) I'm havin' a problem" (I got a problem)

"I need you to write something for me", so she sat down (sat down)

And she began to tell me her story and I came up with these words

Come on, baby, and rescue me (come on, baby)

I'm tired of hurtin', and I-I need your lovin' (I need your lovin')

Come on, baby, and rescue me, uh

I'm tired of hurtin', and I-I need your lovin'

I took a chance when I gave him my lovin'

And ooh-wee, as time went by

He started actin' real and real funny

So I stepped back, and he started talkin' smack (talkin' smack)

I looked at him, and I told him (what you said?)

Baby, you just got proven hard

I walked out the door with no tear in my eyes (I want you)

And I called Jodi, and I told her

Come on (come on), baby, and rescue me (rescue me)

I'm tired of hurtin', and I-I need your lovin' (I need your lovin')

Come on, baby, and rescue me (rescue me)

I'm tired of hurtin', and I-I need your lovin'

Joe (right now) pulled up at my sister's house

The very same night, yes, she did, ooh-wee

And he pulled up with flowers, and came, ooh-wee

Ooh, tellin' me, baby, you don't have to go through that (no-no)

I've been wantin' you from the very first time I saw you

It ain't a week, I'm gonna let it go (I let her go)

'Cause, baby, I'm a real grown man (real grown man)

And I'm willin' to show you, you ain't gotta look at all that

Come on, baby, and rescue me (rescue me)

I'm tired of hurtin', and I-I need your lovin'

Come on, baby, and rescue me (rescue me)

I'm tired of hurtin', and I-I need your lovin'

Now listen, when Jodi pulled up and he told me those words

I told Jodi, "I just wanna have a good time tonight"

And guess where Jodi took me to

A very down home southern soul, do you? They was in there

And they was callin' out, they was callin' out

Where we're at? The sugar shack (mm)

Where we're at? The sugar shack

Where we're at? The sugar shack

Where we at? Hey, the sugar shack

Party with me at the sugar shack

Two-steps with me at the sugar shack

Come on, get with me at the sugar shack

Come on, baby, and rescue me (come on)

I'm tired of hurtin', and I-I need your lovin'

Come on, baby, and rescue me

I'm tired of hurtin', and I-I need your lovin'

Come on, baby (come on), and rescue me (rescue me)

I'm tired of hurtin', and I-I need your lovin' (I need your lovin')

Come on, baby, and rescue me

I'm tired of hurtin', and I-I need your lovin'
