When I was young

So much younger than today

I never needed anybody's help in any way

But now I'm old

Oh, I'm not so sure

Now I find I've changed my mind

I've opened up the door

So won't you help me if you can, I'm feeling down

I do appreciate your being around

Help me get my feet back on the ground

Won't you please, won't you please help me

Now my life has changed

So many ways

All that independence, baby, vanished in the haze

But every now and then

Oh, I just, I just don't know

I find I want you by my side

More than ever before

So won't you help me if you can, baby, I'm feeling down

I do appreciate your being around

Help me get my feet back on the ground, oh baby

Won't you please, won't you please help me
