Help!
The Beatles Lyrics
(Help) I need somebody
(Help) not just anybody
(Help) you know I need someone, help
(When) when I was younger (when I was young)
So much younger than today
(I never need) I never needed anybody's help in any way
(Now) but now these days are gone (these days are gone)
I'm not so self assured
(And now I find) now I find I've changed my mind
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
(Now) and now my life has changed (my life has changed)
In oh so many ways
(My independ-) my independence seems to vanish in the haze
(But) but every now and then (now and then)
I feel so insecure
(I know that I) 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
(Now) but now these days are gone (these days are gone)
I'm not so self assured
(And now I find) 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, ooh

In 2004, "Help!" was ranked number 29 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.
Cover versions:

- In 1970, the Carpenters did a cover version for release on their album, "Close to You". It was not released as a single.
- In 1976, Henry Gross covered it for the ephemeral musical documentary All This and World War II. John Lennon once stated that this was his favourite version of the song. George and Paul do backing vocals.

- In early 1984, Tina Turner released a version of the song recorded with The Crusaders as the follow-up to her successful cover of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together". "Help!" peaked at #40 in the U.K. but went relatively unnoticed elsewhere. The following single "What's Love Got to Do with It" became her big comeback and "Let's Stay Together" and "What's Love Got to Do With It" were later both included on her multiplatinum selling album Private Dancer - her ballad version of "Help!" was however only included on the European editions of the album.
- U2 played it often during their 1986 A Conspiracy of Hope Tour and 1987 Joshua Tree Tour at a slower tempo.
- In 1989, the song was recorded by British girl group Bananarama alongside French & Saunders and Kathy Burke and released as the official Red Nose Day single to raise money for Comic Relief.

- Noel Gallagher performed it at certain Oasis concerts at a slower tempo.
- Paul McCartney also slowed it down a bit when he played it during his 1990 concert tour as part of a tribute to Lennon.

@F Hello. I'll explain better, everything here is the truth.
All Beatles interviews, drama, and documentaries from after late 1966 is staged/fake/actors.
All of the original beatles are alive & they're still friends. Their contract ended in late 1966 so they quit and got normal jobs.
Paul, John, George, and Richard are stage names. The stage names allowed them to be replaced by new beatles without giving up their real identities.
The original beatles real names are colin unwin (john), john halliday (paul), terry johnston (george), and mark (last name unknown) (ringo).
The original john, colin unwin, is still very involved with the beatles. he pretends to be a fan , he calls himself a "beatlemaniac".
Colin has Facebook where he has posted clues for over a decade, a YouTube channel, and a book called "i've just seen a place i can't forget walking in the footsteps of the beatles"
After Colin quit, he had a job of giving tours of john lennon's childhood home, which was really colin's childhood home. he did this with john halliday, the original paul.
His first video from his YT channel is called "personnel lost tapes of iconic beatles locations". It was filmed in 2003 by a tourist. You can see Colin and John (john and paul) giving a tour at 3:07 of the video.
Ask questions about anything confusing instead of passing this off as a theory, because this is one hundred percent truth. LOVE U.

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

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?
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

John wrote this song at 25. When I was younger, I appreciated the melody the most. But now I'm 25 and directionless, insecure and mildly depressed; each and every line pierces through the heart. The Beatles are truly genius when it comes to capturing such emotions.

Dude I am 25 too and i feel exactly the same . I have all the degrees in the world every qualification but I am still aimless and don't think I am good enough
Dean
Do yourself a favor and don't compare yourself to John Lennon. It'll just make you depressed. LOL Most of us did the same thing all cool people do when they're 25, listening to the Beatles.
