Just when I found a way to take the nights alone. Just when I'd lost the need to have someone to hold me. I saw you standing there across the room. From me and I said here we go, here we go again.
Lord, I'm going uptown. To the Harlem River to drown. Dirty water gonna cover me over. And I'm not gonna make a sound. . I'm on a roll, mama, I gotta go.
