Why do I always look down when I want to look up

Why do I shake somebody down when I'm feelin' shook up

Why do I wander around when I want to hook up

Why am I puttin' it down when I wanna pick up



I need something to clear my head

I need something to warm my bed

I need something, some sweet thing



Tell me lies, I know the truth but tell me lies

Just like a breath of fresh air blowin' through my lonely spirit

Love thing, well being

Love thing



Give what you ain't got to give, lord have mercy on me

Drinkin' up blood and sweat and tears, I ain't afraid to ask

Give it to me love thing, well being
