Lyrics[]
What would you do if I sang out of 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 out of key
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
I'm 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 at the end of the day?
Are you sad because you're on your own?
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
I'm 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 it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you, but I know that it's mine, yeah
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Yeah, I 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 need somebody to love
Could it be anybody?
Oh, I want somebody to love
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends (Oh please, don't blame me, no)
I get high with a little help from my friends (I need somebody)
Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends (Oh, I'm gonna try, yeah)
Get by with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends (Oh)
I needa try with a little help from my friends (Oh)
Get by with a little help from my friends
I get by
Oh, ooh
