Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know it's hard on you when the one you love just ain't around
But it's hard on me spendin' every night in a different town
When temptation come to play, it's hard to look the other way
You've got to help me, oh, yeah, help me
You've got to help me
[Verse 2]
You know a man is strong but sometimes strength ain't all you need
'Cause all it takes is one fast glance to plant the seed
But if we build a strong foundation, there won't be no hesitation
You got to help me, oh, help me
You got to help me, oh, yeah
[Verse 3]
Help me, baby (Help me, baby)
If you can
Sometimes it's more (Help me, baby)
Than I can stand
Help me, baby (Help me, baby)
If you can
[Verse 4]
I can't be (I can't be)
No Superman
If you work with me, not against me
And I know that you were meant for me
You got to help me, oh, help me
You got to help me, listen now
[Verse 5]
Around every bend is another lesson to be learned
I need someone to guide me through life's twists and turns
If I get lost down in the fray, only you can stow away
You got to help me, yeah
You got to help me, yeah
[Verse 6]
Every night
Another invitation
It gets so hard
To resist temptation
But when my mind starts to wander
I'll bring it back to you
And I know your sweet love
Will see me through
Woo
[Verse 7]
Help me, help me
Help me, help me
You got to help me
You got to help me
You got to help me
Yeah
[Verse 8]
Help me, baby (Help me, baby)
If you can
If there's more (Help me, baby)
Than I can stand
Help me, baby (Help me, baby)
If you can
I can't be (I can't be)
No Superman
[Verse 9]
Yeah, help me
Oh, yeah (Oh, help me)
Oh, help me (Help me)
Come on, now, baby, baby, baby, baby (C'mon and help me)
You got to help me
Help me, help me (C'mon and help me)
Help me, right now, baby
