lyrics

Well the world keeps on spinning
And I can't help but ride along
Feet so wet, I dive right in it
Sometimes I don't swim so strong

Girl I love you
But more than that
I need your help against the tide
Ain't nobody
Strong as you were
Least not when it comes to me

I need a helping hand
Sometimes, sometimes
Just like anybody would
Sometimes, sometimes
Though I try, yes I try
Sometimes, sometimes
I need a helping hand
I need your helping hands

I still remember, when I was down
Your eyes would melt, and you'd embrace me
Hold me close, while I lay thinking
Thinking thoughts no good for me

Girl I love you
But more than that
I need your help against the tide
Ain't nobody
Strong as you were
Least not when it comes to me

I need a helping hand
Sometimes, sometimes
Just like anybody would
Sometimes, sometimes
Though I try, yes I try
Sometimes, sometimes
I need a helping hand
I need your helping hands

Girl I love you
Ain't nobody
Girl I love you
Girl I love you
