Gimme all your money The thief said with a grin The gun started shaking In his trembling hand I don't wanna hurt no one But I gotta make a stand You don't know, the kind of shape I'm in Oh, I'm a Desperate Man. Honey please don't leave me I'm beggin? you he said You're all I got to live for I might as well be dead Do I have to end my life To make you understand You don't know, the kind of shape I'm in Oh, I'm a Desperate Man. Instrumental: Jesus please forgive me I cried out in the night I know you can help me You can make it right I don't wanna hurt no one But I know you?ll understand You don't know, the kind of shape I'm in Oh, I'm a Desperate Man. Everynight I sing my songs Playin? with my band Sometimes they listen I hope they understand I don't wanna hurt no one I'm just tryin? to make a stand You don't know, the kind of shape I'm in Oh, I'm a Desperate Man. You don't know, the kind of shape I'm in Oh, I'm a Desperate Man You don't know, the kind of shape I'm in Oh, I'm a Desperate Man
