Girl, have you ever been hungry
So hungry that you had no pride
Well, I got that feeling
That biting, gnawing deep inside
It's a funny pain
One I can't explain

Help me, girl

Verse 2
I know about all the good things
And what that long green stuff can buy
Right or wrong it's a groove, girl
Yet somehow I'm not satisfied
You gotta show me the way
Turn my night into day

Oh, I need someone, someone to comfort me
Be my someone, be my reality, girl

Help me, girl help me [fade]
