With A Little Help From My Friends
Sergio Mendes & Brasil ‘66 Lyrics

What would you think if I sang out a tune
If I were to sing a song, would you listen?

Would you stand up and walk out on me
Would you abandon me?

Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
Provide me with your attention and I will share a melody

And I'll try not to sing out of key
I'll attempt to keep the pitch and tune

I get by with a little help from my friends
I cope with life thanks to my companions

I get high with a little help from my friends
My pals elevate my mood

yeah, gonna try with a little help from my friends
I'll endeavor, supported by my buddies

What do I do when my love is away
What should I do when my significant other is absent?

Does it worry you to be alone
Does solitude make you anxious?

But how do I feel by the end of the day
How do I manage my emotions when the day ends?

Are you sad because you're on your own
Do you feel sorrowful because you are alone?

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
No, I am fine since I have the aid of my companions

Do you need anybody
Do you have the necessity for somebody's support?

I just need someone to love
I crave someone to cherish

Could it be anybody
Is there anybody that could fulfill this want?

I want somebody to love
I yearn for someone to adore

Would you believe at a love at first sight
Do you concur with love at first sight?

Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
Yes, I am convinced that it occurs more often than not

what do you see when you turn of the light
What can be seen in the dark?

I can't tell you but I know that it's mine
I cannot explain, but it is personal to me

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Oh, I manage with the support of my buddies

Gonna try with a little help from my friends
I will make an effort with the assistance of my companions

Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Oh, thanks to my chums, I get elevated

Yes I can't buy a little help from my friends
Indeed, my friends' aid is priceless

With a little help from my friends
With my companions' support
