[Chorus]
Won t you give me something
Something to hold on to
This whole world has taken
Taken me for a ride
[Verse 1]
You come smiling through the doorway looking like an old regret
Still a whole lot better than you did last time we met
Between a real hard spot and a hole in a concrete wall
Running out of highway looking for a place to fall
[Chorus]
Won t you give me something
Something to hold on to
This whole world has taken
Taken me for a ride
Pick me up and learn me
Turn me down and burn me
Darling won t you give me
Give me one last try
[Verse 2]
Well to tell you true I thought we d never be here again
Gonna feel alright now darling for the shape I m in
Nearly fell to pieces just thinking it would all fall through
Feeling like somebody when you finally came into view
[Chorus]
Darling won t you give me something
Something to hold on to
This whole world has taken
Taken me for a ride
Pick me up and learn me
Turn me down and burn me
Darling won t you give me
Give me one last try
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Now I won t say it all worked out like I planned
Lucky I still got a leg on which to stand
I had a half of mind to get gone
Leave it a little try to move on
But I just sat there staring at the secondhand
On the barroom wall now
[Chorus]
Darling won t you give me something
Something to hold on to
This whole world has taken
Taken me for a ride
Pick me up and learn me
Turn me down and burn me
Darling won t you give me
Give me one last try
Try
[Instrumental]
