"With a Little Help From My Friends" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Released by the Beatles (1967)

What would you think if I sang outta tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing outta key.

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mmm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away?
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)

No I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm get high with a little help from my friends
Mmm gonna try with a little help from my friends

(Do you need anybody?)
I need somebody to love.
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love.

(Would you believe in a love at first sight?)
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.
(What do you see when you turn out the light?)
I can't tell you but I know it's mine.

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

(Do you need anybody?)
I just need someone to love.
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love.

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends.
