Rescue me
I want you in my arms
Rescue me
I need your tender charms
Cause I’m lonely and I’m blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me
Come on baby and rescue me
Come on baby can’t you see
That I need you by my side
Can’t you see that I’m lonely
Rescue me.

Come on and take my heart
Take your love and conquer every part
Cause I need you by my side
Can’t you see that I’m lonely

Rescue me
Come on and take my hand
Take my love I want you for my man
Cause I’m lonely and I’m blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me

Come on baby and rescue me
Come on baby can’t you see
That I need you by my side
Can’t you see that I’m lonely

Love me baby
Hold me baby
Kiss me baby
Squeeze me baby
Oh baby help me baby
Oh baby Ah baby
