Song Description

Funky rock tune about a man begging his woman to let him back into his life. Written in the style of Doobie Brothers or Boz Scaggs.

Story Behind the Song

Funky rock tune written after realizing that the title Rescue Me had been a successful title every ten years or so up to the Fontella Bass version in 1965. As it was 1975 we thought it time to use the title again - this was the result.

Lyrics

Rescue Me

Written by: Al Hovden/Peter Sinclair
SOCAN

There ain't no love in the streets of the city
Just a heart that's turned to stone
There's no one to blame but it hurts just the same
It's a crime to be left alone

Living alone in the twentieth century
I've got to survive til you find your way back to me
Won't you please

Rescue me
Just show a little bit of mercy (show a little mercy)
Rescue me
And show the world that you care (show the world you really care)
Rescue me
Come on and tell me that you need me
Let me know that you'll be there

I'm all alone in the streets of the city
With a heart that's turned to you
Yeah it's a real bad situation and I've got to get this message through

Living alone in the twentieth century
I've got to survive til you find your way back to me
Won't you please

Rescue me
Just show a little bit of mercy (show a little mercy)
Rescue me
And show the world that you care (show the world you really care)
Rescue me
Come on and tell me that you need me
Let me know that you'll be there (come on and rescue me)

Come on babe and rescue me
You've got to give me that love that sets me free
Come on babe and rescue me
You've got to give me that love that sets me free

Instrumental

What've I got to do to get you in my arms again?

Rescue me
Just show a little bit of mercy (show a little mercy)
Come on babe and rescue
You've got to give me that love that sets me free

Rescue me
Just show a little bit of mercy (show a little mercy)
Come on babe and rescue
You've got to give me that love that sets me free

Rescue me
Just show a little bit of mercy (show a little mercy)
Come on babe and rescue
You've got to give me that love that sets me free
