When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind, opened up the door

Help if you can I'm feeling down
But I do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please help me

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
Now I know I need you like I've never done before

Help if you can I'm feeling down
But I do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please help me

Help
I need somebody
Help
Not just anybody
Help
You know I need someone
Help

Hey Joe
Where you going with that gun in your hand
Hey Joe
Now tell me where you going with that gun in your hand
I'm gonna shoot my lady
Cos I caught her messing around with another man
Yes, I'm going down to shoot my lady
Cos I caught her messing around with another man

Hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
Hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
Right down to the ground
Yes I did I shot her
You know I shot her cos I caught her messing 'round town
Yes I did I shot her
I shot my woman cos she was messing 'round town
I gave her the gun - I shot her!

Hey Joe
Tell me where you gonna run to now?
Hey Joe

Way down South where I'm gonna be free

Way down South maybe outside Mexico Way
I'm gonna run, oh yeah
