Help!
José Feliciano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.
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,
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every 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 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 daya 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
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.
The lyrics of José Feliciano's cover of The Beatles' classic "Help!" express a plea for assistance and a need for someone to lean on during difficult times. The first verse reflects on the singer's younger days when they were confident and independent and didn't need anyone's help. However, as they've grown older, they've found themselves feeling insecure and needing help to get back on their feet.
The chorus repeats the simple yet powerful message of the song: "Help me if you can, I'm feeling down, and I do appreciate you being round. Help me, get my feet back on the ground, won't you please, please help me." The second verse repeats the sentiment of the first, but adds that the singer's life has changed in many ways and that their independence seems to be disappearing. Despite this, they still feel insecure at times and need someone to help them through.
Overall, the message of the song is one of vulnerability and the importance of reaching out for help during difficult times. The simple melody and straightforward lyrics make it a timeless classic that has resonated with generations of listeners.
