I know I just display my foolish pride When I try to be an island to myself You must be tired of all the stuff that I still hide Because I just can't seem to trust anyone else It's a lonely way to live Such a lonely way to live I'm a desperate man I'm in desperate need Of your saving hand To come and rescue me You've been more than patient all this time If it were me I would have given up long ago The first time that you pulled me from the mire And I brushed you off to dig another hole It's a sad way to live Such a sad, sad way to live I'm a desperate man I'm in desperate need Of your saving hand To come and rescue me I used to be the strong one The self-sufficient fool I thought I needed no one But the plain and simple truth Is I'm a desperate man I'm a desperate man I'm in desperate need Of your saving hand To come and rescue me
