Bananarama – Help! lyrics

One two three...
Wait wait wait, what's the first line again?
Help!
Oh yeah.
One two...
Help!
No wait!
Sorry.
One two three four

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

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

[Chorus:]
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
Down down down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
'Round 'round 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Ground ground ground
Won't you please, please help me

Pete, look, I think I'm a bit toppy.
And I'm a bit bottomy, Pete.

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
I know that I just need you like I've never done before

[Chorus:]
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
Help!
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help!
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Help!
Won't you please, please help me

They're gonna take the Bananas off 'ere aren't they?
Yeah. They're just doing backing vocals. We're singing the medley.
Well, we better be. Otherwise there'll be trouble.
Hm, hm!

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

[Chorus:]
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
Down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
'Round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Ground
Won't you please, please help me
Help me, help me, Ooh
Oooooooh...
Oh, the Bananas finished too early again.
I know.
That's it. I'm leaving, forget now Pete.
Oh, that's in the can Pete, it's in the can!
You can join their group, then.
It's in the can, it's a wrap, it's a wrap.
Shut up, Kim!
