[Intro: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
(Help!) I need somebody
(Help!) Not just anybody
(Help!) You know I need someone
(Help!)

[Verse 1: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
(When, when I was young) When I was younger, so much younger than today
(I never need) I never needed anybody's help in any way
(Now these days are gone) But now 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

[Chorus: John Lennon, John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
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?

[Verse 2: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
(Now my life has changed) And now my life has changed in, oh, so many ways
(My independ') My independence seems to vanish in the haze
(But now and then) But every now and then I feel so insecure
(I know that I) I know that I just need you like I've never done before

[Chorus: John Lennon, John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
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?
