[Verse 1] 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 AROUND OH HELP ME IF YOU CAN I`M FEELING DOWN WON`T YOU PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME [Verse 2] 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]
