What would you do

If I sang outta tune

Would you stand up

And walk out on me?

Lend me your ears

And I'll sing you a song

I will try not to sing outta key

'Be outta tune'

'Oh baby high, without no key'

(High with a little help from my friends)

'All I need is my buddies'

(High with a little help from my friends)

'I say I'm gonna get even higher, all I want'

(High with a little help from my friends)

'Whoa-oh whoa-oh, oh yeah'

(Woo-ooo-ooo)

What do I do when my love is away

(Does it worry you to be alone?)

'No-no'

'How do I feel at the end of the day?'

(Are you sad cause you're on your own?)

'l can't, don't even say it no mo'

(By with a little help from my friends)

'Gonna get by without a friend, with a little tune'

(High with a little help from my friends)

'Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna'

(Try with a little help from my friends)

'People there that I know of'

(Woo-ooo-ooo)

(Do ya need anybody?) (Do ya need any money)

'I need someone to love'

'All I need is someone to love'

'Won't you try, oh yeah'

'Some love between your soul, now'

'Baby'

(High with a little help from my friends)

'Say I'm gonna beg you as my friends, with a little help'

(By with a little help from my friends)

'Whoa-ho, I wanna keep on tryin, with a little

(Try with a little help from my friends)

'I'm gonna keep on tryin', now and then'

(Woo-hoo-ooo)

(Would you believe in a love at first sight?)

'I'm certain it happens all the time, yeah'

(What do you see when you turn out the light?)

'I can't tell ya, but it sho' feels like mine'

(By with a little help from my friends)

'Don't you know I'm gonna make you a lot happier'

(High with a little help from my friends)

'I'm gonna sing about good-byes'

(By with a little help from my friends)

'Said I'm gonna try and love her too, Lord)

(Woo-hoo-hoo)

(Do ya need anybody?)

'Whoa-ooooh-ooooh, yeah, yeah, yeah'

(Could it be anybody?)

'Oh, it's gotta be someone like you'

'Going to be, but not your lies

Someone better babe, to choose

'Whoa, yeah, yeah'

(By with a little help from my friends)

'Said I'm gonna get by without prayers, little girl'

(Try with a little help from my friends)

'Oh, never want a cheater with lies

(By with a little help from my friends)

'Keep on talking about friends, oh Lord'

(By with a little help from my friends)

'Whoa, you never know it's got no hope'

(High with a little help from my friends)

(By with a little help from my friends)

'Gettin' high, I wanna make time, oh Lord'

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)

'Gonna get by with my friends, yeah'

'Whoa-oh, I'm gonna get on by'

'Yes, I'm gonna get on by, girl'

'I won't sit alone, alone and cry'

'I won't tell you I'm lonely, girl'

'Can't hear me, now'

'Thought you were lookin' at the way I feel

And the warning sign in my eyes'

'Whoa, I'm gonna take my friends along with me'

'And then away we go'

'Everywhere we go we're gonna be on the same road.
