Foghat - Helpin' hand lyrics

rate me

been ignored and I been abused

been mistreated and I've been misused

been discouraged and turned aside

overloaded when my hand's are tied

that's the time, when I need a hand

a helping hand, I need a helping hand

things I do are criticized

ripped to pieces and analyzed

I tell the truth and they call me a liar

exaggerator and a magnifier

that's the time, I need a hand

a helping hand, I need a helping hand

yeah

there were times when I lived alone

lock the doors, disconnect the phone

I warn everybody, tell 'em not to call

complete isolation, I need most of all

but after a while I need some company

I tell my friends, come see about me

that's the time, when I need a hand

a helping hand, I need a helping hand

need a helping hand, I need a helping hand

need a helping hand, I need a helping hand

I need somebody to stand by me

I need somebody to stand by me

whoa yeah

I need a hand, I need a helping hand (2x)

I need somebody, I need somebody

I need somebody, hey to stand by my me
