Joan Armatrading - Help Yourself lyrics

rate me

If you're gonna do it do it right

Don't leave it overnight

Ff you're gonna help me help me now

Another ten minutes will be too late

Like a crying child

I need comfort now

Don't pick me up

When the tears are dry on my face

Need someone to help me

But not you, you're not ready

Seems you have trouble helping yourself

It takes time to notice

But you don't seem to know time keeps moving

What you're doing is wasting my time

You would help me more

Help me more if you helped yourself

Help yourself

Help yourself

You wanna get yourself together

Don't you wanna put yourself to right

I said get yourself together

Don't you wanna put yourself to right

I said no, don't apologise

You've done your best

Seems it still ain't right

Leave me alone

No more to be said

To get it right you got to do it yourself

I'm going out to help myself

Help myself

Help myself

I'm going out to help myself

Help myself

Help myself

If you're gonna say it say it now

Don't leave it overnight

If you're gonna hold me hold me tight

I don't wanna leave

Not if it seems all right

Like a crying child

I need comfort now

Don't pick me up

When the tears are dry on my face

You've got to govern the situation

Nut not you, you're no

And anyway, hold up

Hold up

Hold up

You're trying to sort out your mind

You've got to get it together

You've got to get it together

It would help me more

Help more if you helped yourself
