Help
Gross Henry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I was younger so much younger than today.
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now those days are gone I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've chanced my mind I've opened up the doors.
Help me if you can I'm feeling down and I do appreciate you being around.
Help me get my feet back on the gound.
Won't you please?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways.
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But ev'ry 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 around.
Won't you please?

When I was younger so much younger than today.
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now those days are gone I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've chanced my mind I've opened up the doors.
Help me if you can I'm feeling down and I do appreciate you being around.




Help me get my feet back on the gound.
Won't you please?

@actionsub

I remember hearing this when it first came out. Now some forty-ish years later I looked for it, but I could have sworn it was Leo Sayer. Great!

@scissors656

loved his song "shannon"

@arizuka12

Wiki says it's George and Paul backing vocals- not Lennon.

@loszhor

It's "new" but I still like it.

@mmiquel

la de Tina Turner es genial !!!

@7425park

Backing vocals by Lennon and McCartney.  Lennon's fav version.

@terryfogarty4337

Wrong version. Lennon said his favourite was John Farnhams version wich is 100% better than this one.
