Alton Ellis

Trying to reach my goal

I don't know where I'm going

But I sure know where I've been

And all the things I'm a-doing

I'd never do again



Got myself a woman

Just waiting to build a home

Just to have some children, yah

We can call our own



Oooh, help me!

I'm 'bout to lose my soul

Oooooh, woman!

Trying to reach my goal



Some day I'm gonna do things

To prove it to myself

That loving for my woman

Is all that I've got left



I knew it wasn't easy

But things is much too rough

Said, things are so much harder

And things is rougher than tough



Oooh, help me!

I'm 'bout to lose my soul

Oooooh, woman!

Trying to reach my goal



Some day I'm gonna do things

To prove it to myself

That loving for my woman

Is all that I've got left



Oooh, help me!

I'm 'bout to lose my soul

Oooooh, woman!

Trying to reach my goal



Oooh, help me!

I'm 'bout to lose my soul

Oooooh, woman!

Trying to reach my goal



Oooh, help me!

I'm 'bout to lose my soul

Oooooh, woman!

Trying to reach my goal
