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

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
