I Need All the Help I Can Get (Live)
Though it nearly killed me
When he told me we were through
And I never realized all the damage love could do
'Cause I've been alone ever since the day that he left
So, be good to me, baby
I need all the help I can get
It's so hard when you're hurting this way
For a woman to find the right words to say
I mumble and I stammer
And a hand begin to swerve, oh-yeah
So, be good to me, baby
I need all the help I can get
Ooh, yeah
I've been walking wounded, blinded by a tear
A little old after all of these years
Thought my lot will change, but it ain't changed yet
So, rescue me, baby
I need all the help I can get
Ooh, yeah
They say, "One time burned, two times shy"
For so long, I did not even try
But being here with you
I feel a whole lot more like myself
So, be good to me, baby
I need all the help I can get
Yes, I do
Oh, rescue me, baby
I need all the help I can get
Ooh, yeah
Oh, be good to me, baby
I need all the help I can get
Ooh, ooh-ooh
When he told me we were through
And I never realized all the damage love could do
'Cause I've been alone ever since the day that he left
So, be good to me, baby
I need all the help I can get
It's so hard when you're hurting this way
For a woman to find the right words to say
I mumble and I stammer
And a hand begin to swerve, oh-yeah
So, be good to me, baby
I need all the help I can get
Ooh, yeah
I've been walking wounded, blinded by a tear
A little old after all of these years
Thought my lot will change, but it ain't changed yet
So, rescue me, baby
I need all the help I can get
Ooh, yeah
They say, "One time burned, two times shy"
For so long, I did not even try
But being here with you
I feel a whole lot more like myself
So, be good to me, baby
I need all the help I can get
Yes, I do
Oh, rescue me, baby
I need all the help I can get
Ooh, yeah
Oh, be good to me, baby
I need all the help I can get
Ooh, ooh-ooh
