I Need Help
Bobby Byrd & The J.B.'s All Stars Lyrics

All of your affection is gone baby and your love is growing cold
I can tell that you don't love me the way you used to and your feelings for me are fading

I've said all of your affection is gone baby and your love is growing cold
I have already expressed to you that your affection for me is gone and your love is getting colder

Hey, I've got a new story to tell you this evening, baby
I have something new to tell you tonight that I haven't shared before

One that ain't never been told
It's a story you've never heard before

I went to work the other day
I went to my job recently

But I thought that I would double back
But I decided to return home early

And that car I saw sitting in front of my door
I noticed a car parked in front of our house

Looked like a brand new, a brand new Cadillac, yeah!
It was a shiny and new-looking Cadillac, similar to a luxurious vehicle brand

I ain't got none now baby
I don't have anything now, babe

I think you've been cheating on me
I suspect that you've been unfaithful to me

I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help
Deep down, I feel like you've had assistance in cheating on me

That I don't think I really need
I don't want or need any help finding out the truth

The iceman came by this morning
The ice delivery man came this morning

And you know he didn't leave no ice
And he didn't leave any ice behind, despite his job being to deliver it

The postman came by later baby
The mailman came by later on, baby

And he didn't even ring twice
And he didn't ring the doorbell or knock, so I suspect you were expecting him

Now, I want you to tell the iceman
I need you to pass a message along to the ice delivery man

The next time he'd better leave some ice
He needs to make sure he leaves ice on his next delivery

And I want you to tell the postman
You need to tell the mailman something for me, too

He'd better ring more than twice
He needs to actually knock or ring the bell instead of just passing by

And when I come home from work in the morning
And when I return from my job in the morning

Better still be some groceries on the shelf
There should be groceries in the house for me to eat

I want to tell that slick insurance man
I have a message for the sneaky insurance man

That he'd better write some insurance on his self
He should make sure to insure himself, as he could come across harm by crossing me

Yes, I think you've been cheating on me
It's true that I believe you've cheated on me

I think you're running out on me
I suspect that you're leaving me for someone else

I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some help, some help
I'm positive that you've had assistance in your infidelity

Some help, I don't really need
But I don't need help figuring it out, as my suspicions are already formed
