Well I turned left just like you told me to 
I get excited by the moves you do 
I'm on a mission and I'm gonna get away 
Well I saw her standing all colored in red 
I felt the blues just by the things she said 
I want my mission so I can escape today 

God knows, I ain't sleeping but I want my line 
God knows, I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight
Oh brother can you help me out 
God knows, I've got nothing so accept my time 
God knows, it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight 
Oh brother can you help me out 
brother can you help me out 
Oh brother can you help me out 

Well I turned the page from number three to four 
You had nothing on you by my bedroom door 
You had your mission now I'm gonna get away 
When this is over and our souls are saved 
When I am buried when I've got my own cave 
I've done my mission so I won't be here today 

God knows, I ain't sleeping but I want my line 
God knows, I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight 
Oh brother can you help me out 
God knows, I've got nothing so accept my time 
God knows, it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight 
Oh brother can you help me out... 
brother can you help me out 
Oh brother can you help me out 
Oh brother can you help me OUT 

I turned right just like I thought you would 
I got excited like you said I would 
I'm on a mission and I'm getting blown AWAY 
Well I saw her standing all colored in red 
I felt the blues just by the things she said 
I want my mission so I can escape today 

God knows, I ain't sleeping but I want my line 
God knows, I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight
Oh brother can you help me out 
God knows, I've got nothing so accept my time 
God knows, it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight 
Oh brother can you help me out... 
All right
