Begging for True Love

James Vincient Johnson 1952 (Algoma WV)

Begging for True Love

There is something in my heart
That reminds me that I love you
This something keeps me on guard
It only comes once in a lifetime
You are on my mind every day
I want to reach within and love you
And wish you reach within and love me
See baby I am begging for something
Something called true love
You see I am at rock bottom
Please believe in me
Make my heaven feel like cotton
Today I have fallen to my knees
And I am begging you, please                                                  
For all I have to give is true love
