Sweet Lorene

Otis Redding

Hey Lorene girl, huh

Bring yourself home to me

You've got my mind

Messed up and shattered

I'm at the point

Where don't nothin' matter

You got me beggin', pleadin' and needin'

Oh sweet Lorene, girl, all right



The places that we used to go

I can't stand to go there no more

The smilin' faces we used to see

I bow my head

'Cause they're starin' at me, now

You got me scared, weepin' and moanin'

Oh sweet Lorene, girl, all right

Let me tell you about it



If you want my lovin', girl

You got to get it home to me, girl

I'm gonna kiss you from head to toe

Love you more and more

When you get here

I'm gonna sock it to you

ou, ha

ou yeah



Do it, do it

Ooh sweet Lorene, all right, yeah girl

You got to hurry, don't stay no longer

'Cause my need for you

Is gettin' mighty stronger, girl

Five long years I been sufferin'

Tryin' to tell you, girl

I ain't had nothin'

You got me beggin', pleadin' and weapin'

Oh sweet Lorene, girl, all right



(Ad lib and fade)
