No problem believing,
in what she can't understand or seeing
What she can't hold in her hand
Faith is her religion
You can see it in her eyes
When all the saints and the sinners,
stop to wave bye-bye
And the holy rollers,
come down from the sky
Chorus
She's got the heart of an angel,
but she cries like a little girl
She's got the heart of an angel
Well don't she cry, don't she cry, cry, cry
The sign said "Confession,
and redemption while you can"
She sought her salvation,
in the hands of a preacher man
He just took the money,
her innocence and pride
And left her on the doorstep,
with her heart cut open wide
The grand illusion,
just pushed her aside
She needs some healing,
She can't understand
That salvation,
is right in the palm of her hand
Hush, sweet baby,
your soul's in the sky
Hear of an angel,
sent to the heaven
Where all is forgiven,
she's got the heart of an angel
The world needs some healing,
for all to be forgiven
She's got the heart of an angel

Gypsy woman told my mother 'fore I was born,
You got a boy-child coming, gonna be a son of a
gun
Gonna make pretty womens jump and shout,
And then the world wanna know what this all
about
But you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well, I'm the hoochie
coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here
I got the black
cat bone and I got a mojo tooth
I got the John
the Conqueror root, gonna mess with you
I'm gonna make you girls lead me by my hand,
And then the world will know the hoochie coochie
man
But you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well, I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here
On the seventh hour, on the seventh day,
On the seventh month, seven doctors say,
"He was born for good luck, that you'll see"
I got seven hundred dollars; don't you mess with
me!

The bar was filled with smoke and lies,
I couldn't see a thing, it burned my eyes
I pushed a strange woman off my lap,
she had a snake tattooed on her back
The doors opened into the night,
the silence kissed my worried life
I heard a song comin' from the back,
it played over and over again
CHORUS
I stood just around the bend, over the hill,
across the river bed, one step closer to hell
If I forget about my past, forget about my
guilt,
I go back to the house that love built, that love
built
I went back to the bar again,
and headed straight for the band
I need to remember not to forget,
all the life and the love we had
So play that song and make it right,
get me out of this lonely night
Slapped all my money into his hand,
said play it over and over again
CHORUS
Let me come inside, baby,
let me come inside into the house that love
built,
that love built, the house that love built,
the house that love built

I've been a restless,
for a long, long time
Tryin' to find a home
for heart of mine
The nights are lonely,
and the days are long
It’s hard to find a reason,
to carry on
But all this searchin',
is it ever gonna end?
Must I keep on losin',
again and again?
Tell me, how long can a man be strong?
How long must he carry on,
without the love of a woman,
to call his own?
Tell me, how long can a man be strong ?
It’s on every man’s mind,
to find that special girl
Someone to love me,
when I’m alone in the world
But I know she’s out there somewhere,
so I’m gonna keep tryin’
Someday I’m gonna find her,
it’s just a matter of time
As long as I’ve been waiting,
I know she’s been waiting, too
Hold on a little longer,
I’m all the way to you
Now ever since this world began,
it takes a woman to make a man
Now I need someone!
Don’t you know I need someone?
Ooh
But all this searchin’,
is it ever gonna end?
Must I keep on losin’,
again and again and again?
Yeah
Oh keep on waiting
Oh noooo
Yeah

One candle burns brightly,
it flickers and it almost dies like me
Alone against the wind
But this moment has magic,
it's keeping that flame alive as we hold on to the
night
Well, there'll be another day,
we'll have another chance but not like this
No, nothing can compare to the way that I feel
right now
Do you feel the same way as I do, then tell me
how
How strong do you want it to be?
How do you want to hear it from me?
How long, baby, tell me, how deep?
How much love do you want from me?
Ooh
Somebody must have scared you,
left you wounded and afraid to love again
You are just like me
But nobody's ever held me so close, so
desp'rately,
and I never held anybody like you
How much love do you want from me?
How much love do you want from me?
Ooh
How much love do you want from me, yeah?
How strong do you want it to be?
How do you want to hear it from me?
How long, baby, tell me, how deep?
How much love, do you want from me?
Ooh
How much love do you want from me?
Ooh

I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be
found
I went to the river to jump in
My baby showed up and said, "I will tell you
when"
Well, I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the
ground
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be
found
I love you babe with all my heart and soul,
love like mine will never grow old
Love you in the morning and in the evening too
Every time you leave me I get mad with you
I love you baby with all my might;
love like mine is out of sight
I'll lie for you if you want me to
I really don't believe that your love is true
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well, I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the
ground
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be
found

Well, I'm hungry for lovin',
but I just can't get me none
I tried and I tried,
but I can't find anyone
Won't somebody tell me what the reason can be,
why no girl wants to give her love to me?
Everybody needs something, and I need to be
loved.
Now, most people have it,
and they get it all the time
But I do without it, tell me why can't love be
mine?
I tried for so long,
but it's so hard to find
a lover to help me,
it's breakin' my mind
Everybody needs something, and I need to be
loved
Well, I spend my time lost and lonely,
everyday and all night
I don't know how long I can go on,
and I know is it ain't right
Well now, can't find that certain someone,
and I just don't understand
I know out there, there's a girl somewhere,
for such a lonely man
I'll come home this evening
just like all the nights before,
and I'll be alone
When I walk through my front door
And I'll go to bed 'round a quarter to 2,
and I will start cryin like I always do
Everybody needs something and I need to be
loved
Whoa, I need to be loved
Yeah, I need to be loved

I'm not alone, you're sittin' right there
How come I get the feeling,
you could vanish into the air?
I love you more than anybody else baby
Can't you tell I'm an easy touch
Oh, baby baby, I think I love you too much
If I picked you up, you'd slip right away
And if I locked you up,
you'd find a way to make me stay
You're gonna hurt me more than anybody baby,
'cause you know I'm an easy touch
Oh, baby baby, I think I love you too much
I guess I'm gonna give you what you want,
'cause I so in to you
You never give an inch to me baby,
though I've been giving you a mile or two
I'm not alone, you're sittin' right there
How come I get the feeling,
you could vanish into the air?
I love you more than anybody else baby
Can't you tell I'm an easy touch
Oh, baby baby, I think I love you too much
Chorus 3x.

When a man loves the woman,
and she tries to turn away
Got no heart to follow,
only pain and sorrow
So don't look the other away
Leave the light on in your window,
leave the key above your door
Leave the light on baby,
that's just what I am looking for
I am lost without your loving,
though I try to make a stand
Well, I am finally stranded,
came up empty-handed
Yeah, I am lost in no man's land
Leave the light on in your window,
leave the key above your door
Leave the light on baby,
that's just what I am looking for
Well, I am lost and lonely but I won't let go,
still my body's achin' for someone to hold
In a world so ruthless, keep in my mind
you're my reason for livin', show me a sign
Leave the light on in your window,
leave the key above your door
Leave the light on baby,
that's just what I am looking for
Leave the light on in your window,
leave the key above your door
Leave the light on baby,
that's just what I am looking for
Leave the light on in your window,
leave the key above your door
Leave the light on baby,
that's just what I am looking for
