WHEN I WAS YOUNGER SO MUCH YOUNGER THAN TODAY I NEVER NEEDED ANYBODIES HELP IN ANY WAY AND NOW THOSE DAYS ARE GONE I`M NOT SO SELF ASSURED AND NOW I FIND I`VE CHANGED MY MIND I`VE OPENED UP THE DOORS [CHORUS] HELP ME IF YOU CAN I`M FEELING DOWN AND I DO APPRECIATE YOU BEING `ROUND OH HELP ME IF YOU CAN I`M FEELING DOWN WON`T YOU PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME AND NOW MY LIFE HAS CHANGED IN OH SO MANY WAYS MY INDEPENDENCE SEEMS TO VANISH IN THE HAZE AND EVERY NOW AND THEN I FEEL SO INSECURE AND NOW I JUST NEED YOU LIKE I NEVER DID BEFORE [CHORUS]
