Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Love
Love
I know you can hear me
You see, we've known each other a long time
I guess right now you've got the last laugh
I know I abused you
I've took advantage of you
I used you selfishly
I apologize now
You see, because after suffering
So much
I know that I was wrong
You're the only one I can turn to
Because I misused you
And you're the only one that can straighten me
You see, love
I can't sleep
I can't even eat
Don't go anywhere anymore
And love, I'm beggin' you to help me
And love, if you help me just this once
I won't misuse you anymore
I won't be cold anymore
And I'll forever keep you in my heart
Please, love
Please
[Verse 2]
Help me love
Find my way
I'm still living in
Yesterday
There are certain things
I don't care to reveal
You see, you make me feel
The way that I feel
And I think if I told you
You just might understand, yeah
Why I appear to be such a
A cold-hearted man
Once upon a love
That was so untrue
You turned my heart into stone
And left me so blue
[Verse 3]
You got to help me love
You're my only chance
I need you to help make me
Once again a man
Take this heart of mine
And make it new
Please, don't ever
Leave me blue
And if there's anyone
In this whole wide world
It would be you
You simply make me love
Just give me love
Like I never had
Treat me good, Mama
I'm so tired of being treated so bad
[Verse 4]
Help me love
I feel so bad
I guess it goes all the way back
To my mom and dad
Two people
I'll never chance to know, no
I wonder why
I miss them so
I've never had a mother's touch
Or a father's hand
And good woman's love
But why? I just don't understand
[Verse 5]
Maybe I'm the one
Who made myself blue
Oh, won't you help me love?
Help me find happiness with you
Help me love
Help me love
Help me love
Find my way
Help me love
Turn darkness into day
Help me love
You're my only chance
Help me love
And make me, once again, a man
Help me love
I need you so bad
Help me love
Give me the chance I never had
[Verse 6]
Please
Help me
Help me
Please
Help me love
Help me love
