Rescue me
Take me in your arms
Rescue me
I want your tender charm
‘Cause I’m lonely
And I’m blue
I need you
And your love too
Come on and rescue me
Come on, baby, and rescue me
Come on, baby, and rescue me
‘Cause I need you by my side
Can’t you see that I’m lonely
Rescue me
Come on and take my heart
Take your love
And conquer every part
‘Cause I’m lonely
And I’m blue
I need you
And your love too
Come on and rescue me
Come on, baby, and rescue me
Come on, baby, and rescue me
‘Cause I need you by my side
Can’t you see that I’m lonely
Rescue me
Take me in your arms
Rescue me
I want your tender charm
‘Cause I’m lonely
And I’m blue
I need you
And your love too
Come on and rescue me
(Come on baby)
Take me baby (take me baby)
Hold me baby (hold me baby)
Love me baby (love me baby)
Can’t you see I need you baby
Can’t you see that I’m lonely
Rescue me
Come on and take my hand
C’mon, baby and be my man
‘Cause I love you
‘Cause I want you
Can’t you see that I’m lonely
Mmm-hmm (mmm-hmm)
Mmm-hmm (mmm-hmm)
Take me baby (take me baby)
Love me baby (love me baby)
Need me baby (need me baby)
Mmm-hmm (mmm-hmm)
Can’t you see that I’m lonely
- Liner Notes
Pat: Our good friend Larry Mazer called him [Neil] one day to see if we’d be interested in participating in the soundtrack of a new Keanu Reeves film, Speed. As was our policy, we always had to screen the film first to be sure we wanted to be a part of it. Our second daughter, Hana, was maybe two months old at the time and I was breast feeding her so I had to take her with us. Not a big deal I thought. It was a private screening; very young babies are usually excellent in movie theaters because it’s dark and they’re right in your arms…. wrong! Let me tell you ladies, please don’t ever think your lives are so different from a celebrity mom’s. A working mom is a working mom. That baby screamed and carried on through the entire evening. There were just so many explosions and loud noises. It’s funny now, but I can promise you I was more than a little frazzled! Somebody rescue ME, please! Anyway, we had a great time recording this classic, and Larry Mazer has been our personal manager ever since. (You can thank him for this endless drivel; he insisted that you all would love to hear these stories.)
Neil: Speed! Happened too fast to remember. Couldn’t resist, sorry!
