None of this would have happened if I could have read the signs
But every day that passes, I feel like I'm losin' my mind
A fifth of whiskey, a pack of cigarettes
I've been up all night and I ain't seen no rest

But I'll keep tryin' everyday, yes I'll keep on tryin' in every way
Seem like the sun don't wanna shine, I'm just lookin' for some peace of mind
Come back and help me darlin'
Oh, come back and help me darlin'

Lookin' out my window in my lonely room
The time has finally come for me to get rid of these blues
And some folks say you got to live and learn
The pain of a heartache, Lord, sure does burn

But I'll keep tryin' everyday, yes I keep on tryin' in every way
Seem like the sun don't wanna shine, I'm just lookin' for some peace of mind
Come back and help me darlin'
Please come back and help me darlin'
Come back and help me darlin'
Please come back and help me darlin'
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Come back and help me darlin'
Please
