rescue me from the mire whisper words of desire rescue me darlin' rescue me . with your arms open wide want you here by my side come to me darlin' come to me . when this world's closin' in there's no need to pretend set me free darlin' set me free . {chorus} i don't wanna let you go so i'm standin' in your way i never needed anyone like i'm needin' you today do i have to say the words? do i have to tell the truth? do i have to shout it out? do i have to say a prayer? must i prove to you how good we are together? do i have to say the words? . rescue me from despair tell me you will be there help me please darlin' rescue me . every dream that we share every cross that we bear can't you see? darlin; rescue me . {chorus}
