Black dog mood’s upon me

Monkey on my back

Can’t seem to shake the feeling

Thoughts on a single track

I’m no good to be around

But please don’t go

It helps just to know you’re there

Helps more than you know

I don’t mean to bring you down

But I’ve never felt this bad

This deep unhappy place is

Driving me mad

Don’t stop to think about it

Just stay close by me

I’ve got my pride

You know I have

But I’m begging

Can’t you see

Save me

Save me

Save me from myself

I don’t mean to bring you down

But I’ve never felt this bad

This deep unhappy place is

Driving me mad

I need somebody

I need somebody

To help me see this through

I need somebody

I need somebody

It might just be you

Save me

Save me

Save me from myself
