Lyrics

Woke up in the middle of the night
With a stranger at my door
Light skewed with the devil's eyes, she wouldn't be ignored
I can't even fall asleep without waking up to trouble
It's a temporary high, I'm slipping away
Not a liberating high, I'm slipping away

I'm counting on love to save me from this life I'm living
I'm counting on love to show me everything I'm missing
One more time for love, one more time for love
I'm counting on love to save me from this life I'm living

Whoa, little mama, you got the sugar now
No, little mama, ain't gonna mess around
Ain't gonna mess around
Ain't gonna mess around

Sweet dreams never came to me so I stay up every night
Get lost in the city street, try to find a different life
That's not gonna mean a thing but a temporary high
It's a temporary high, I'm slipping away
Just a temporary high, I'm slipping away

I'm counting on love to save me from this life I'm living
I'm counting on love to show me everything I'm missing
One more time for love, yeah, one more time for love
I'm counting on love to save me from this life I'm living

Whoa, little mama, you got the sugar now
No, little mama, ain't gonna mess around
Ain't gonna mess around
Ain't gonna mess around

One way, fast lane
Put it down, put it down, okay
They say, "don't change"
If I don't I'mma go insane

I'm counting on love to save me from this life I'm living
I'm counting on love to show me everything I'm missing
One more time for love, one more time for love
I'm counting on love to save me from this life I'm living

Whoa, little mama, you got the sugar now
No, little mama, ain't gonna mess around
Ain't gonna mess around
Ain't gonna mess around
