Oh yeah

Oh help me father, you gave me a warning
But I can't stop taking, this time it is gonna catch me

Mind is spinning round
Hands are shaking
How am I gonna cut loose from this stuff
I need it, please save me, I can't get enough wrong or right

Oh help me mother you gave me a warning
Told me 'bout trouble and how difficult life can be, oh

Mind is spinning round
Hands are shaking
How am I gonna cut loose from this stuff
I need it, please save me, I can't get enough wrong or right

Yeah
I need it, please save me, I can't get enough wrong or right
Yeah
Told me 'bout trouble and how difficult life can be, yeah




I can't get enough wrong or right
Yeah, oh, no
