Need a Little Help

I been feelin very weak
I been turnin pretty pale
First Im fallin to my knees
Then Im hangin by my tail

Asked the doctor for some medicine
He said, "Theres nothin we can do"
Preacher said, "Its gonna kill you, son"
Mama dropped the chicken soup

Im gonna need a little help, help, help
While Im gettin over you
Im just a flicker of myself, self, self
Your hurt has cooled my fire into

If you could spare a little touch, touch, touch
I might survive a week or two
Im gonna need a little help, help, help
While Im gettin over you

Ever since you made me leave
Cant remember wrong or right
When Im up, I wanna sleep
When Im asleep, I wanna fight

Dialed the number for emergency
Sheriff said to tough it out
I called my psychic friend on Channel Three
And she confirmed without a doubt

Im gonna need a little help, help, help
While Im gettin over you
Im just a flicker of myself, self, self
Your hurt has cooled my fire into

If you could spare a little touch, touch, touch
I might survive a week or two
Im gonna need a little help, help, help
While Im gettin over you

Bells are ringin in my ears
Wolf is howlin in the yard
But the only thing I hear
Is the poundin of my heart

I saw my picture in the evening news
I had a caption by my head
They polled the people for the public view
And nearly everybody said

Im gonna need a little help, help, help
While Im gettin over you
Im just a flicker of myself, self, self
Your hurt has cooled my fire into

If you could spare a little touch, touch, touch
I might survive a week or two
Im gonna need a little help, help, help
While Im gettin over you

Im gonna need a little help, help, help
While Im gettin over you
Im just a flicker of myself, self, self
Your hurt has cooled my fire into

If you could spare a little touch, touch, touch
I might survive a week or two
Im gonna need a little help, help, help
While Im gettin over you

Im gonna need a little help, help, help
While Im gettin over you
Im gonna need a little help, help, help
Im gonna need a little help, help, help
