Rescue me
Oh take me in your arms
Rescue me
I want your tender charm
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, and rescue me
Cause 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'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, and rescue me
Cause I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Rescue me
Oh take me in your arms
Rescue me
I want your tender charm
Cause I'm lonely
And I'm blue
I need you
And your love too
Come on and rescue me

Take me baby (take me baby)
Hold me baby (hold me baby)
Love me baby (love me baby)
Can't you see I need you baby
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Rescue me
Come on and take my hand
C'mon, baby and be my man
Cause I love you
Cause I want you
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Mmm-hmm (mmm-hmm)

Take me baby (take me baby)
Love me baby (love me baby)
Need me baby (need me baby)
Mmm-hmm (mmm-hmm)
Can't you see that I'm lonely
