After he hurt you, you said you were leaving; you got up to walk out the door
The story he's telling you, you weren't believin'; you've certainly
heard it before
And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad I can't take it, it's makin' me mad

Say the word and I will rescue you (Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you

I could be wrong, but unless I'm mistaken, it's only a matter of time
And I know you're giving him more than you've taken; you've come to the end of
the line
And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad I can't take it, it's makin' me mad

Say the word and I will rescue you (Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you (Say the word, say the word)

Something missing in your life; tell you what I say; blues are on the run and
help is on the way
Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do
Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you I'm gonna rescue you

I just can't take it when your feeling so sad
I can't take it, it's making me mad

Something missing in your life; tell you what I say; blues are on the run and
help is on the way
Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do
Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you I'm gonna rescue you

Say the word and I will rescue you (Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you (You know that help is on the way
