With A Little Help From My Friends
Sam & Mark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me you ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key!
[Chorus]
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away?
Does it worry you to be alone?
And how do I feel by the end of the day?
Are you sad because your on your own?
[Chorus]
Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love
And could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love
Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes, I'm sure that it happens all the time
And what do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you but I know that its mine
[Chorus]
Do you need anybody?
I just need somebody to love
And could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love
[Chorus: x2]
I get by with a little help from my friends,
With a little help from my friends
The song "With A Little Help From My Friends" by Sam & Mark is a song about friendship and the importance of having someone to rely on in times of need. The lyrics open with the singer questioning what their friend would do if they were to sing out of tune and if their friend would stand by them or walk out. The singer then asks for their friend to lend them their ears and they will sing a song, although they will try not to sing out of key.
The chorus of the song is iconic and highlights the main message of the song, which is that the singer gets by with a little help from their friends. They also get high with a little help from their friends, referring to the idea that not only do friends offer emotional support, but sometimes they can also provide a literal escape from any troubles or worries.
The song also touches on the topic of loneliness and the need for someone to love. The singer asks if it worries their friend to be alone when the singer's love is away, and if the friend is ever sad because they are on their own. The song suggests that having somebody to love and share your life with is important, but it also stresses that having a friend is just as important and can offer the same comfort and support.
