Sometimes when you've been misused
Feel that you've been abused
It'll leave you definitely confused
But this is what you do
Remember

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself
A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself
A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself
A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself

Sometimes it's tough, sometimes it's rough
And sometimes your loved one, they don't love you just enough
Oh, it's so hard, but it's fair
When there's someone that loves you
They're jivin' and they don't care

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself
A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself

Sometimes it looks like my whole life has changed
And sometimes the ones that say they loved me
It seems, it seems that they have changed so strange
Alright, I know it's tough, it's hard but it's fair
When someone says they love you and you know they don't care

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself
A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself

Help me soul, let me go back to the crossroad, so I can find myself
Sometime I get lonely, way in the middle of the night
Reason why I get lonely, I must have did something that just wasn't right
So I got to go back to the crossroad, won't you admit it, baby
