I've Been Down

(album: Turn The Hands Of Time - 1981)

Oh, whoa, my, my, baby
Well, well, well

Oh, when you're touching me
Where you've been touching me
Sure gives me a feeling, yeah
Oh, I guess it's just a little too much for me
Rocking and reeling, well

Give yourself some time to know
Which way you want to go
I've had my share of your hopes and pain
Hurting don't prove a thing
Just let me get my feet back on the ground
I wanna be around
If you should find what love is all about
I'll be there to check it out
I've been down so long, oh, baby
(I've been down, I've been down)
(I've been down so long)
Give me the strength I need to carry on
(I need the strength to carry on)

Touching me, touching me
Where you've been touching me, baby
Oh, my baby, girl, oh-whoa-whoa...

Gotta say it again
Touching me where you've been touching me
Gives me the feeling, well
Guess it's just a little bit
Little bit too much for me
All of this rocking and reeling
Sure lives rocking and reeling, well

Give yourself some time to know
Which way you want to go
I've have my share of your hopes and pain
And hurting don't prove a thing
Just let me get my feet back on the ground
I wanna be around
If you should find what love is all about
I'll be there to check it out
I've been down so long, oh, baby
(I've been down, I've been down)
(I've been down so long)
Give me the strength I need to carry on
(I need the strength to carry on)

Whoa, whoa, my baby
Whoa, whoa-whoa...

Oh, rocking and reeling, yeah
(I've been down so long)
Well, well, well
Sure lives, sure lives rocking and reeling
(I've been down so long)
Well, well, well, well
Yeah, yeah

Come on, come on and rock me, baby
(I've been down so long)
Hey-hey
Sure, sure gives me the feeling
(I've been down so long)
Oh, I got it, you got the feeling
(I've been down so long)
I've been down, I've been down
I've been down so long
(I've been down so long)
Down so long
