  • Well, you ask for Monday
    It's always something
    We're getting close, still goes on
    You're running out of time

    I need someone to rely on
    A shoulder to cry on
    Instead of someone of mine
    Gotta draw the line, baby, baby

    You changed and I need a little loving (little loving)
    I can't keep giving you all and get back nothing

    When will somebody save me? (Somebody save me)
    I got trouble with my baby (trouble with my baby)
    Come on, come on, boy, just shake me (please somebody shake me)
    Somebody wake me (please somebody wake me)

    'Cause I know (I know), I do (I do), too bad (too bad) for you
    I got trouble with my baby (got trouble with my baby)
    Got trouble with my baby (trouble, trouble with my baby)

    You got problems with emotion
    Don't know if you're coming or going
    There's emptiness in your eyes
    Your turn's always tired

    Got enough of being a hero
    One day I'm gonna give a zero
    And you'll have no place to hide
    In this heart of mine, baby, baby

    You changed and I need a little loving
    I can't keep giving you all and get back nothing

    When will somebody save me? (Somebody save me)
    I got trouble with my baby (trouble with my baby)
    Come on, come on, boy, just shake me (please somebody shake me)
    Somebody wake me (please somebody wake me)

    'Cause I know (I know), I do (I do), too bad (too bad) for you
    I got trouble with my baby (got trouble with my baby)
    Got trouble with my baby (trouble, trouble with my baby)

    I can't go on like this
    You got me so damn pissed
    Your talking makes me sick
    Momma said there'll be days like this

    Now the whole world knows I got trouble with my baby (please somebody save me)
    Got trouble with my baby (trouble with my baby)
    Come on, come on, boy, just shake me (please somebody shake me)
    Somebody wake me (please somebody wake me)

    'Cause I know (I know), I do (I do), too bad (too bad) for you
    I got trouble with my baby (got trouble with my baby)
    Yes I have (trouble, trouble with my baby)

    Won't somebody help me? (Got trouble with my baby)
    I got trouble with my baby (trouble, trouble with my baby)
    Got trouble with my baby (Got trouble with my baby)
    Got trouble with my baby (trouble, trouble with my baby)
