(Help!) I need somebody
 (Help!) not just anybody
 (Help!) you know I need someone
 (Help!)

 When I was younger (when I was younger),
 So much younger than today (I never needed)
 I never needed anybody's help in any way
 (Now) But now these days are gone (these days are gone),
 I'm not so self assured (and now I find)
 Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors

 Help me if you can, I'm feeling down (down)
 And I do appreciate you being round (round)
 Help me, get my feet back on the ground
 Won't you please, please help me

 (Now) And now my life has changed (my life has changed) in oh so many ways
 (My independence) My independence seems to vanish in the haze
 (But) But every now and then (now and then) I feel so insecure
 (I know that I) I know that I just need you like
 I've never done before

 Help me if you can, I'm feeling down (down)
 And I do appreciate you being round (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 and (opened up the doors)

 Help me if you can, I'm feeling down (down)
 And I do appreciate you being round (round)
 Help me, get my feet back on the ground
 Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh
