I know that I should care
That I should comb my hair
Try to pick up round my place
Maybe even wash my face
Oh, mama don't you know the blues
Is like a pebble in your shoes
I tried the self-help isle
I even faked a smile
Tried to pull myself on up
By my very own bootstraps (my very own bootstraps)
When I'm feeling down
Only your love can bring me round
♪
Come back mama
Come-on, please come back
♪
I took medicaments
For my predicament
Then I prayed to all the gods
Still, I would have better odds
If you'd come back to me
Only your love can set me free
If you'd come back to me
Only your love can set me free
If you'd come back to me
Only your love can set me
Free
