lady whilst you're crying i'm outside
somebody must want you
a special kind of rhymes
we must find

lovers heed my advice
find someone that keeps you
that wants what you've got hid
all up inside

when the cords get twisted
and you can't string the lines
hey, jesus needs a hit
but you can't quit
hey child, jesus needs a hit
but you can't quit
no not now, no not now
it's far too late

wishes easy come easy go
they're a dime for a dozen
cheaper by the blow
or so i'm told

kisses ain't worth a damn
i don't work for free child
i'm happy just to be
in my control

when all your wings get stolen
phone me on this line
hey, jesus needs a hit
but you can't quit
no not now child
jesus needs a hit
but you can't quit
no not now, no not now
it's far too late

hey, jesus needs a hit
oh child, jesus needs a hit
but you can't quit
no not now, no no no not now
jesus needs a hit
