What would you do
If I sang outta 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
Outta key

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends

Gets high with a little help
From his friends

Oh I'm 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 your
On your own

From my friends

Yeah, I 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 need somebody to love
Could it be anybody

Would you believe in a
Love at first sight

Yeah I'm certain that it happens
All the time

From my friends
