Janis Joplin: Work Me, Lord

Work me Lord, work me Lord.
Please dont you leave me,
I feel so useless down here
With no one to love
Though Ive looked everywhere
And I cant find me anybody to love,
To feel my care.

So ah work me Lord, whoa use me Lord,
Dont you know how hard it is
Trying to live all alone.
Every day I keep trying to move forward,
But something is driving me, oh, back,
Honey, somethings trying to hold on to me,
To my way of life.

So dont you forget me down here, Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Ah, ah, dont you forget me, Lord.
Well I dont think Im any very special
Kind of person down here, I know better,
But I dont think youre gonna find anybody,
Not anybody who could say that they tried like I tried,
The worst you can say all about me
Is that Im never satisfied. Whoa.

Whoa, oh, oh, work me Lord, hmm, use me Lord,
Please, honey, dont you leave me,
I feel so useless down here.
I cant find me anybody to love me
And Ive looked around,
Ive looked everywhere, everywhere
And I cant find me anyone to love,
To feel my care.

So honey dont you go and leave me, Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Honey, dont you go off and leave me, Lord.
Cant I show you how hard it is
Trying to live when youre all alone.
Everyday I keep pushing,
Keep trying to move forward
But something is driving me, oh, back,
And somethings trying to hold on to me,
To my way of life, why.

Oh please, please, oh dont you go and
Forget me down here, dont forget me, Lord.
I think that maybe you can ease me,
Maybe I can help you, said uh whoa,
Oh please, please, dont you go and leave me Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa please,
Hmm please, dont you leave me, Lord.
