I was not a man of sorrow
'Til I saw you from a far
Nothing's free that has a meaning
Should have known right from the start
How could you just leave me lying?
With a dagger in my heart
I can see our love is dying
And its death will do us part

Baby please, don't come and rescue me
Can't you see? You gotta set me free
Left out in the scorching desert
Without shade, without a light
My grief and sorrow was your pleasure
For 40 days and 40 nights
Now I'm out of pleads and praying
There's somewhere else I'd rather be
Too many women still left waiting
Your sister looks real good to me

Baby please, don't come and rescue me
Can't you see? You gotta set me free

Oh you don't fool me
With that angel face
You're double dealer
No matter what you say
