The Beatles
Help!
1.- Read the complete lyrics of this song from The Beatles.
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 door.
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?
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 door.
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?
Help me! Help me!
