| Mama don’t you weep
 | 
| take your blankets from the floor
 | 
| Let your baby sleep
 | 
| you don’t live here no more
 | 
| You think you’re drifting deep
 | 
| but there’s a light upon the shore
 | 
| you just get tired sometimes
 | 
| when it’s heavy on your mind
 | 
| Did somebody hurt you
 | 
| Did somebody lie
 | 
| Maybe they desert you
 | 
| but they cared themselves inside
 | 
| No matter how it goes down
 | 
| You can still stand up with pride
 | 
| you just get tired sometimes
 | 
| you just get tired
 | 
| And in the middle of the night time
 | 
| in the freezing rain
 | 
| I heard somebody asking was it all worth the pain
 | 
| But I believe that your darkness
 | 
| could never move your light
 | 
| But when you’re blinded
 | 
| you’re reminded for all that’s wrong in life
 | 
| Now when you’re out of your mind
 | 
| working that blind
 | 
| to turn it around you better trust somebody
 | 
| look at yourself you like what you see
 | 
| If you want something else you better trust somebody
 | 
| Ain’t no one but a stranger to you
 | 
| but I can show you what love can do
 | 
| Some got lovin' by the hour
 | 
| Some got lovin' by the pound
 | 
| Well I will love you for a lifetime
 | 
| and I’ll never let you down
 | 
| Because you know the truth is
 | 
| We all go round and round
 | 
| We just get tired sometimes
 | 
| We just get tired
 | 
| Well I don’t know about you
 | 
| but sometimes I feel like it’s a crime
 | 
| to suffer through the motions
 | 
| One heartache at a time
 | 
| But I can tell you still got it
 | 
| by the look that’s in your eyes
 | 
| You think it’s missing
 | 
| but I’m guessing
 | 
| it’s been there all the time
 | 
| Now when you’re outta your mind
 | 
| Working that blind
 | 
| To turn it around you better trust somebody
 | 
| Look at yourself
 | 
| you like what you see
 | 
| If you want something else
 | 
| you better trust somebody
 | 
| Ain’t no one but a stranger to you
 | 
| But I can show you what love can do
 | 
| How would you know that you’re alive
 | 
| Until you died a thousand times
 | 
| ‘Cause even fools like me are wise enough to say
 | 
| you will have everything
 | 
| when you give everything away
 | 
| And now I’m outta of my mind
 | 
| Working it blind
 | 
| to turn it around I gotta trust somebody
 | 
| look at myself I don’t like what I see
 | 
| I want something else
 | 
| so I can trust somebody
 | 
| Ain’t no one but a stranger to you
 | 
| But I can show you what love can do |
