Somebody loan me a dime
I need to call my old time used to be
Somebody loan me a dime
I need to call my old time that used to be
Little girl's been gone so long
You know it's worrying me, hey, it's worrying, worrying me

I know she's a good girl
But at that time I just didn't understand
I know she's a good girl
But at that time I just didn't understand, oh no, I didn't
Somebody loan me a dime
You know I need, I need a helping hand

Oh, she's a good girl
But at that time I just didn't understand
Ooh, I know she's a good girl
But at that time I just could not understand, oh no, I didn't
Somebody better loan me that dime
To ease my worried mind

Now I cry, I just cry
Just like a baby all night long
You know I cry, I just cry
Just like a baby, all night long
Somebody better loan me that dime
I need my baby, I need my baby here at home, ooh yeah
