I keep on runnin', baby

I keep on runnin' but I just can't hide, no, I just can't hide

I keep on hurtin', baby

I keep on hurtin' so deep inside, so deep inside



Lord, I need your smile, child, like the one I once knew

Made my grass green and my blue skies blue

Love was a time when two was one

Tell me now, girl, where've all the good times gone



Love, say, I'm gonna cry me a river

Wash my blues all away

I'm gonna cry me a river

Girl, you're my riverboat, oh yeah

Baby, take me away



I'm reachin' out my hand

Won't you please help me to my feet once again, oh, once again

Tears fallin' like rain

Lord, it's a time when everybody needs a friend

Now girl, where've you been, yeah



Lord, I need your smile, child, like the one I once knew

Made my grass green and my blue skies blue

Love was a time when two was one

Tell me now, girl, where've all the good times gone, yeah



Girl, say, I'm gonna cry me a river

Wash my blues all away

I'm gonna cry me a river

Girl, you're my riverboat, oh yeah

Baby, take me away, oh, take away, child



Oh no, I feel I'm gonna cry me a river

Wash my blues all away

I'm gonna cry me a river

Love, wash my blues all away



I'm gonna cry me a river

Wash my blues all away

I'm gonna cry me a river

Girl, you're my riverboat, oh yeah

Baby, come take me away
