🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • And I do appreciate you being 'round
  • Help me get my feet back on the ground
  • Won't you please, please help me?
  • And now my life has changed in oh so many ways

Sing the opening verse

  • I need somebody
  • (Help) not just anybody
  • (Help) you know I need someone
  • (Help)
