Rescue Me

As sung by Aretha Franklin

Rescue me
Oh take me in your arms
Rescue me
I want your tender charms
'Coz 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
'Coz 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
'Coz 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
'Coz I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely

Rescue me
Oh take me in your arms
Rescue me
I want your tender charms
'Coz 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, hold me baby, love me baby
Can't you see that I need you baby
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Rescue me

Come on and take my hand
Come on baby and be my man
Cuz I love you cuz I want you
Can't you see that I'm lonely?
take me baby
love me baby
need me baby
Can't you see that I'm lonely?

rescue me, rescue me.......


I just finished watching an episode of Joan of Arcadia. The theme throughout the episode was rape and how close it hits each family. Joan's mother had been raped while in college. Her pain came through in her art work which Joan tried to sell in a yard sale. It was as if someone needed to throw her a life line. The pain was still there and very real.

It's ironic. I had voiced to the paradox that I needed rescuing from my family next weekend because my mother's driving me nuts. But it's more than that- I want to get away from my neighbors. It's really sweet to have nice neighbors and a family environment but these people are beginning to wear on my nerves. I want to be able to sit in my own home oblivious to what is going on next door while being invisible myself. It's called privacy! I also really want to go hear Linda tell her story but my truck isn't driveable at that distance. I asked him if he'd rescue me and let me pay the gas expenses down there. I'm not looking for romance. I really do just want to be able to support my friend but it would give me a chance to get to know him better as well. He thinks I don't talk much- boy, do I have him fooled.
