Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You got to help me
I can't do it all by myself
You got to help me, baby
I can't do it all by myself
You know if you don't help me, darlin'
I'll have to find myself somebody else
[Verse 2]
I may have to wash, may have to sew
I may have to cook, I might mop the floor
But you help me, baby
You know if you don't help me, darlin'
I'll find myself somebody else
[Verse 3]
When I walk, you walk with me
When I talk, you talk to me
Oh, baby, I can't do it all by myself
You know if you don't help me, darlin'
I'll have to find myself somebody else
Help me, help me, darlin'
[Verse 4]
Bring my nightshirt
Put on your morning gown
Oh, bring my nightshirt
Put on your morning gown
Darlin', I know we sleepin'
But I don't feel like lyin' down
Oh, yeah, help me
Written by: Ralph Bass, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Willie Dixon
