Janis Joplin - Work Me, Lord Lyrics






Work me Lord, work me Lord.
Please don't you leave me,
I feel so useless down here
With no one to love
Though I've looked everywhere
And I can't find me anybody to love,
To feel my care.

So ah work me Lord, whoa use me Lord,
Don't you know how hard it is
Trying to live all alone.
Every day I keep trying to move forward,
But something is driving me, oh, back,
Honey, something's trying to hold on to me,
To my way of life.

So don't you forget me down here, Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Ah, ah, don't you forget me, Lord.
Well I don't think I'm any very special
Kind of person down here, I know better,
But I don't think you're gonna find anybody,
Not anybody who could say that they tried like I tried,
The worst you can say all about me
Is that I'm never satisfied. Whoa.

Whoa, oh, oh, work me Lord, hmm, use me Lord,
Please, honey, don't you leave me,
I feel so useless down here.
I can't find me anybody to love me
And I've looked around,
I've looked everywhere, everywhere
And I can't find me anyone to love,
To feel my care.

So honey don't you go and leave me, Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Honey, don't you go off and leave me, Lord.
Can't I show you how hard it is
Trying to live when you're all alone.
Everyday I keep pushing,
Keep trying to move forward
But something is driving me, oh, back,
And something's trying to hold on to me,
To my way of life, why.

Oh please, please, oh don't you go and
Forget me down here, don't forget me, Lord.
I think that maybe you can ease me,
Maybe I can help you, said uh whoa,
Oh please, please, don't you go and leave me Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa please,
Hmm please, don't you leave me, Lord.

    I feel like this is her best live performance of any song she has sang!! Like she SAANGG THE FUCCK OUTTA THIS SONG AND BARELY GOT ANY APPLAUSE AT THE END! ugh she's incredible 😍😍

  36. C.... S....

    this was an awesome band..........this was a problem, because they were too good......janis was a gritty blues singer, she should have stay with big brother.....

  37. �.... �....

    Даром не надо. Страшная баба похожая на мужика изощряется в вокале. Ни тепло, ни холодно. Бездушно. Бесноватая. Смирительную рубашку принесите, успокойте уже женщину!

  38. L.... R....

    Grace rod Stewart

  39. R.... Y....

    The words are incredible. I felt that way a few times. Listening to her sing this on the Kozmic Blues album I discovered in 1970 was it for me. I've been hooked since. Beautiful woman inside and out. Love this version too.

  40. m.... b....

    Perfect

    SIMPLELY DIVINA!!! THANKS JANIS FOR ALL YOUR MUSIC. MAY GOD HAVE YOU SINGING FOR ALL THE ETERNITY!!!

  44. p.... ....

    when people cared enough about the music they made that sweat covered their faces. the point is to break a sweat-thats what the culture nowadays doesn't understand

  45. A.... M....

    I can't fall in love with the right people because I'm in love with an asshole... I'm never satisfied. Work me Lord!!!

  46. t.... k....

    Adoro Essa Musica 😢😢😢😢😢🙇🙇🙇🙇

  47. A.... M....

    My favorite live from her! I keep coming back to it every day, it's an addiction <3

  48. A.... M....

    NOBODY can sing like her :)

  49. A.... M....

    5:30 . Oh, Janis, you were so special!

  50. f.... m....

    Essa mulher é muito foda! Provavelmente não tinha noção da potência e do mulherão que era! Sigo firme sendo fã!

  51. b.... ....

    I love music, many tunes give me goosebumps and raise the arm hairs, but only Janis can add a lump to your throat and a tear to your eye, such a tortured but beautiful soul, no-one compares and never will :-) (Please refrain from replying with Courtney Hadwin links, she's great, but 13 yr old girls with happy lives will never be this good!)

  52. J.... V....

    Someone Please make a movie about her

  53. m.... s....

    CLIVE DAVIS IS SHADY .

    Keep trying to move forward
    But something is driving me, oh, back,
    And something's trying to hold on to me,
    To my way of life, why.

    Oh please, please, oh don't you go and
    Forget me down here, don't forget me, Lord.
