Lyrics Guide Me Well - Carla Thomas

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 love 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
Baby, that's why mmmm I got to say
That my love is in your hand
Come on and guide me well mmmm
Oh, you shouldn't 've been so good to me
And you shouldn't 've been so good to me
Now I'm lookin' up to you
And I'm depending on you
Cause darling my love in your hand
Yeah, so guide me well mmmm
I keep sayin'
Darlin' my love is in your hand
Come on and guide me well mmmm.
