Lyrics
Help the poor
Won't you help poor me?
I need help from you, baby
Need it desperately
I need you so much, I need your care
Need all the loving, baby, you can spare
Help the poor
Oh, baby won't you help poor me?
Say you will (say you will)
Say you'll help me on
I can't make it no longer
In this world alone
Baby, I'm beggin' with tears in my eyes
For your love, don't you realize?
I need help, oh, baby
Help poor me (help poor me)
You are my inspiration
Baby, that make me be a king
But if you don't come to my rescue
I couldn't ever be anything
Hey, help the poor (help the poor)
Won't you help poor me? (Help poor me)
Have a heart, won't you, baby?
Listen to my plea
Oh, I lost my courage 'til I found you
You got what it takes, baby, to pull me through
Help the poor
Oh, baby, won't you help poor me? (Help poor me)
You are my inspiration
Baby, that make me be a king
But if you don't come to my rescue
I couldn't ever be anything
Help the poor (help the poor)
Won't you help poor me? (Help poor me)
Have a heart, won't you, baby?
Listen to my plea
Oh, I lost my courage 'til I found you (ooh)
You got what it takes, babe, to pull me through (ooh)
Help the poor
Oh, baby, help poor me (help poor me)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Help poor me)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
