Broke Down Piece of Man

(S. Cropper/J. Shamwell)

Baby, baby, without your love

Take a look at me, darling, come on, baby
Tell me what you see now, baby
I'm only half the man now, honey
That I used to be, Lord have mercy
Since you been gone now, baby
My life ain't nothin' but an empty shell
Say you'll come back, darling
You've got to come back and make this lonely man well

‘Cause I'm a broke down piece of man
I'm a broke down piece of man, baby
I'm just a broke down piece of man
Without your love

Heartache and misery, baby
Well, they're walking right by my side now, baby
Sadness came and got a hold on me
You better get on over here before I cry
You've got to give our love now, baby
You got to give our love one more chance
Well that's the only way darling
That this old heart of mine will last

‘Cause I'm a broke down piece of man
I'm just a broke down piece of man, baby
I'm a broke down piece of man
Without your love

Nobody else can cure the hurt I got
It's your love I need and I need it a lot
Please give our love now, baby
Got to give our love one more chance
‘Cause that's the only way, darling
Oh, that this old heart of mine can last

‘Cause I'm a broke down piece of man
I'm just a broke down piece of man, baby
I'm a broke down piece of man
Without your love
