Carla Thomas — Guide Me Well

[Verse 1: Spoken] Now I've had a lot of regrets But I've got so much to be thankful for I come from a pretty good home And my mother gave me the best of advice But like any young girl who's never experienced love She gets caught up in a little trap every time Set by some jive Casanova Who doesn't mean himself, her, or anybody else any good I have a pretty good education too I went to one of the best schools But I never learned the real meaning of hurt Until a man locked me up and just tore my heart to shreds But on the other hand, I never knew the real meaning of true love Until you came along and set me free You see, I had lost all faith in the word man Ah, but sweet you, you changed that I'm sorry if I go to left field on you baby But I've got to say that to say this You see, in some foreign countries, I can't remember the exact name, they have an old custom And that is, when you save someone's life, you are responsible for That life as long as it shall live [Verse 2: Sung] Baby that's why, mmm hmm My love is in your hands, ooh Guide me well Mmm hmm, mmm hmm Darling our love is in your hands Come on and guide me well, mmm hmm mmm Oh, you shouldn't have been so good to me And you shouldn't have been so good for me You know I'm looking up to you And I'm depending on you 'Cause darling our love is in your hands Yeah, so guide me well, mmm hmm mmm I keep saying, darling my love is in your hands Come on, guide me well, mmm hmm, mmm hmm
