Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come on to me Lord
Come on to me Lord
Come on to me Lord
Come on to me Lord
Come on to me Lord
[Verse 2]
Can I call this livin'?
Lettin' the world take me
Out of my mind
With such heavy burdens
It's hard for one to think sometimes
[Verse 3]
I'm so down with depression
But ain't no use in killin' myself
With your values gone
In this world there's hardly nothin' left
[Verse 4]
Sweet
Sweet
Such restlessness, such emphasis, sweet exorcist
Woman I love you
[Verse 5]
Sometimes it's rainin'
And all around
It's like a, a thickinin' cloud
But the love she gives
It makes me feel so black and proud
[Verse 6]
So very mystifyin'
Flutters my heart like the Lord is calling me home
Oh baby
You make it so hard for a man to sleep alone
[Verse 7]
Sweet
Sweet
Such restlessness, such emphasis, sweet exorcist
Woman I love you
[Verse 8]
I believe in the spirit
[Verse 9]
I know I believe in the spirit
Travelin' soul was alone part of me
Out of this world
It don't take your eyes too long to see
[Verse 10]
Sweet
Sweet
Such restlessness, such emphasis, sweet exorcist
Woman I love, love, love, love
