Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rescue me, oh, take me in your arms
Rescue me, I want your tender charms
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you, and your love, too
C'mon and rescue me
[Chorus]
C'mon, baby, and rescue me
C'mon, baby, and rescue me
'Cause I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely?
[Verse 2]
Rescue me
C'mon and take my heart
Take your love and conquer every part
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you, and your love, too
C'mon and rescue me
[Chorus]
C'mon, baby and rescue me
C'mon, baby and rescue me
'Cause I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely?
[Verse 3]
Rescue me, oh, take me in your arms
Rescue me, I want your tender charms
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you, and your love, too
C'mon and rescue me
[Bridge]
C'mon, baby
Take me, baby (Take me, baby)
Hold me, baby (Hold me, baby)
Love me, baby (Love me, baby)
Can't you see that I need you, baby? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Can't you see that I'm lonely?
[Verse 4]
Rescue me
C'mon and take my hand
C'mon, baby, and be my man
'Cause I love you, 'cause I want you
Can't you see that I'm lonely?
[Bridge]
Mm-hmm (Mm-hmm)
Mm-hmm (Mm-hmm)
Take me, baby (Take me, baby)
Love me, baby (Love me, baby)
Need me, baby (Need me, baby)
Mm-hmm (Mm-hmm)
Mm-hmm, can't you see that I'm lonely?
Rescue me
[Outro]
Rescue me
Mm-hmm
Mm-hmm-mm-mm-hmm-mm-hmm
Mm-hmm
