Maybe I'll Understand

I'm brokenhearted, it's my fault

Treated my baby wrong, and I just got to talk

But help me, somebody, I'm a man

Help me, somebody, I believe she just don't understand

I'm trying so hard, trying so hard

I'm trying to do the best I can, oh yes I am

When I, I lay down

I got my baby on my mind, oh yes I have

When I, when I lay down

I got my baby on my mind, oh yeah

I'll think about the good things, and the good times

The way she make me feel so fine

Mmm, I said I'm sitting in the dark, oh now

And I don't, I don't need no light

Oh yes I am, oh yes I am, yes I...

I'm sitting alone in the dark

I want the world to know I don't need no light

I need no light

'Cause I'm wondering, I'm wondering where she's gone

And I'm wondering what, what she's doing tonight

And all I can say, all I can say is

Help me, somebody, help me understand

Help me, somebody, I know that I'm not her man

'Cause I need her, to hold my hand

Then maybe, maybe I'll understand

That's the reason she wanted me for her part-time love now

She says, "Baby, baby, you don't understand"

AND OH, baby, I swear I just can't be

I can't be, I can't be your back-door man now, oh, no, I can't

I said, I said I just can't be

I said I can't be your back-door man, oh no I won't

I won't sneak and hide, baby

I'm a fool, people say, I just don't understand, oh no, oh no

Play it one time, Jimmy, oh now

[Jimmy Nolen guitar solo]

Take it down some

Can't lose these blues

Mmm...can't lose these blues

I remember, I remember, my grandma told me one time

She said it's so hard, when you're trying to play a Blackjack game

Oh yes it is

I had 15, hit him with a 6

You know, you know, you know he wasn't just the same

Ain't that a sin?

If I could've hit that 15 I had

Do you know that would make me win?

I guess I'm, I guess I'm, I'm in hard luck

And OH, and OH...help me, somebody, hey

Help me, somebody, OH, help me, somebody

Help me, somebody, OH...
