Billy Shears

What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away?
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day?
Are you sad because you're on your own?

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love

Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, get high with a little help from my friends
Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Oh, I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes, I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends

@Taye Reiss that said it was a random name they thought of that fit the character/ band they were playing. but some fans that think the real Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced by the guy "billy shears" because he looked like him. so some might think its a reference to him.

Of all the unforgettable songs on "Pepper"--the greatest rock album ever recorded--"A Little Help From My Friends" is my favorite. As the second track on first side, Ringo appears front and center--a surprise in itself because a Ringo vocal was usually far down the song list on previous Beatles albums. "A Little Help From My Friends" is the ultimate peace, love, and happiness song. It never fails to amaze me when I hear it. HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY RINGO...AND MANY MORE TO COME!

They were all so talented. In this age, there would be too much ego for a band like this to stay as long as the Beatles did, even though it was a short stint in relative terms. This may never happen again. It's not just about music. The Beatles transformed pop music from "I love you so much" to something so much more profound from the musicality to the lyrics. Pioneers.

There's no "I love you" when it comes to the Beatles. It's "All you need is love," "Love everyone," etc.

Everyone loves John and Paul. Their great and all, but Ringo is my favorite of the four.

when John and Paul sing the bridge together something magic is happening. its always the case, when they sing in 2 voices. something magic was going on with them.also their creativity. this is not normal.

Now I'm in 8th grade, and this song is special to me and I'm now a Beatles fan 😊

Update: So, I listened to an isolated vocal track, and it turns out I was completely wrong. He does indeed sing “With A Little Help From My Friends” the whole song. You might need headphones to hear the ‘’s’’though.

I like how this song is called A little Help from my friends, but to left side of Lennon there’s a paper cut out of a very D E P R E S S E D Ringo, Also Ringo did a pretty good job on this song!

It's interesting to think that this is their only album without any singles coming from it as far as my knowledge goes, because it's probably the most consistent in quality in my opinion and literally every song on this thing could've been a single (except maybe Within You Without You and the title track and its reprise, not because of their quality)

Wow. Isn't this just the greatest music? Makes me feel so good just to listen to it. I was 13 when the Beatles came out in America and I'm almost 70 now. Never got tired of hearing them. What a time of enlightenment that time period was. One of my greatest pleasures in life is that I got to hear the Beatles in my lifetime.
