Jimmy Ruffin If You Will Let Me, I Know I Can Lyrics

Baby I know I blew your mind, oh yeah
Oh, I just kept on hanging around you
I thought you needed me near, oh yes I did now
Thought some day we'd settle down, yeah yeah

Tryin' to run the game on you, no baby, no no
Just trying to make it home, oh baby

And if you let me, I know I can
I can sail this ship on dry land, oh baby
If you let me I know I can be a man, oh baby
Take a chance, oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

I know you told me from the start how
"Lord, my mind's already made up"
I was gonna take care of you darling, yes I was now
Instead I made things just a little rough on you baby

Tryin' to run the game on you, no baby, no no
Just trying to make you see, hey yeah yeah

And if you let me, I know I can
Sail this ship on dry land, oh baby And if you let me I know I can yeah, yeah
Be a man, oh baby, won't you understand
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Hey, hey, take me baby, oh
Tryin' to run the game on you, no baby, no no
Just trying to make you see

My mind's gone off and left me
My heart's beatin' with you, yeah
And baby I miss you, oh baby baby

Sail this ship on dry land
And if you let me I know I can
I can build you a house on quicksand
Oh baby, and if you let me I know I can, yeah
Be a man, oh baby, won't you understand
Come on honey now, take a chance
And just let me be your man
'Cause I'll do anything baby
Anything you want, want, want, want, want, want me to do now, yeah
Let me, I know I can
I can sail this ship, baby
Sail it on dry land if you let me
