Lyrics

What would you think 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, Mm, I get high with a little help from his friends, Mm, 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 by the end of the day? (are you sad because you’re on your own?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends, Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends, Mm, 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 that it happens all the time. What do you see when you turn out the light? I can’t tell you, but I know it’s mine.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends, Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends, Mm, Gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Do you need anybody? I just need someone to love, Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends, Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends. Oh, I get high with a little help from my friends, Yes, I get by with a little help from my friends, With a little help from my friends.
