Help Yourself

(album: Dance - 1976)

Well, you're down and out, wondering why things aren't the way they used to be
You're complaining, trying to explain how things went wrong to me
Say you need a friend who'll lend a helping hand and so you come to me
And if you're looking for some help, help yourself

Well, you're weary, you're tired of everybody walking over you
Go get drunk again, sit and wonder why your friends all laugh at you
'Bout to give it up even though you know there's so much more to do
And you don't need nobody else to help yourself

Help yourself... you don't need nobody else, help yourself
Help yourself... you don't need nobody else, help yourself

Getting better, looking like things finally start to go your way
And you've figured out exactly what it is that you've been trying to say
Sun is coming up, with the morning comes the dawning of brighter day
You didn't need nobody else to help yourself

Help yourself... you don't need nobody else, help yourself
Help yourself... you don't need nobody else, help yourself
Help yourself... you don't need nobody else, help yourself
