You know it nearly k**ed me When you told me we were through I never realized all the damage he could do I haven't been with a man Ever since the day he left Take it easy on me baby I need all the help I can get. It's so hard when you're hurt in this way For woman to find right word to say I trip and I stumble And my hand beggin' to sweat Take it easy on me baby I need all the help I can get. I've been walkin' wounded Blinded by tears Trying' to live along after all this years Thought my love will change But it ain't change yet So be good to me baby I need all the help I can get. They say one time burned Two time shy For so long I could not even try But being here with you I feel a whole lot more like myself take it easy on me baby I need all the help I can get.
