Give me strength
Oh give me strength

Give me hope
Oh ya give me hope

Give me your loving
Give it quick
Back to the cottage
And rub those sticks

You got your woman
On a lie
You break every good thing
Without a try

Give me strength
Oh give me strength

Give me strength
Oh baby give me strength

Give me hope
Oh baby give me hope

Suitcase is packed
And ready to go
Mailed all my letters
It’s starting to snow

You make your plans
And set a date
Come up short
Don’t hesitate

Give me strength
Give me strength

Give me hope
Don’t give me hope
