Help!

© 1965 by John Lennon/Paul McCartney

(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,
     I've opened up the doors.

CHORUS:
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.

CHORUS

     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, ooh...
