[Verse 1]
Oh man, I'm a loner, a night time roamer
Emptiness haunts me and that's how I know
I am a broken-hearted soul
And I've hit rock bottom, so where do I go?
[Pre-Chorus]
All I need is for your love to save me
Begging please, I think I'm going crazy
All I know is that I'm losing my grip
[Chorus]
As I lay me down to sleep I wish that you were here with me
'Cause I need some help to save me from myself
And I know I shouldn't think about you but I do all the time
[Post-Chorus]
My oh my
(Hey!)
My oh my
(Hey!)
[Verse 2]
Oh man, I'm a stumbler, a straight-A rumbler
Looking for trouble wherever I go
And night time is calling, my judgment is falling
And I won't give up till the sun comes up
[Pre-Chorus]
All I know is that I'm losing my grip
[Chorus]
As I lay me down to sleep I wish that you were here with me
'Cause I need some help to save me from myself
And I know I shouldn't think about you but I do all the time
As I wake up in despair you know I say a little prayer
'Cause I need some help to save me from myself
And I know I shouldn't think about you but I do all the time
[Post-Chorus]
My oh my
(Hey!)
My oh my
(Hey!)
My oh my
(Hey!)
[Bridge]
Darling, I need you
More than I want to
So as I lay me down
Won't you save me
[Chorus]
As I lay me down to sleep I wish that you were here with me
'Cause I need some help to save me from myself
And I know I shouldn't think about you but I do all the time
As I wake up in despair you know I say a little prayer
'Cause I need some help to save me from myself
And I know I shouldn't think about you but I do all the time
[Post-Chorus]
My oh my
(Hey!)
My oh my
(Hey!)
My oh my
(Hey!)
My oh my
(Hey!)
