(originally by Fontella Bass)

Rescue me, oh, take me in your arms
Rescue me, I want your tender charms

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me

Come on, baby, and rescue me (Come on, baby)
Come on, baby, and rescue me (Come on, baby)
'Cause I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely?
Rescue me

Come on and take my heart
Take your love and conquer every part

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me

Come on, baby, and rescue me (Come on, baby)
Come on, baby, and rescue me (Come on, baby)
'Cause I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely?
Rescue me

Rescue me, oh, take me in your arms
Rescue me, I want your tender charms

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me

Come on, baby, and rescue me (Take me, baby)
Come on, baby, and rescue me (Hold me, baby)
'Cause I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely?
Rescue me

Come on, baby, now, rescue me
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
Can't you see that I'm lonely?
Rescue me
Come on, baby, rescue me
