Help! I need somebody
Help! Not just anybody
Help! You know I need someone
Help!
When I was younger,
So much younger than today,
I never needed anybody’s help in any way.
But now these days are gone
I’m not so self assured,
Now I find I’ve changed my mind,
And opened up the doors.
Help me if you can,
I’m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round,
Help me get my feet back on the ground.
Won’t you please, please help me
And now my life has changed in
Oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure.
I know that I just need you like
I’ve never done before.
Help me if you can,
I’m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won’t you please, please help me

And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me get my feet back on the ground.
Won’t you please, please help me
Help me!
Help me!
