Oh Lord, what can the matter be?
Lord, what can the matter be?
Oh Lord, is there something wrong with me?
Oh, Oh, o-o-oh,oh,oh.
I?m so tired, that I can?t hardly speak
So tired, that I can?t hardly speak
Life?s down, and I have sprung a leak,
Ooh, ooh, oo-oo-ooh, ooh, ooh.
Oh, God, why can?t I love someone?
God, why can?t I lover someone?
Just one, before my life is done,
I hear Satan?s calling me.
Oh, Lord, my love has left me,
Lord, my love has left me,
She?s gone, and I can?t hardly see,
What is my life coming to?
Repeat last two verses after break and key change.
