Been ignored and I been abused
Been mistreated and I been misused
Been discouraged and turned aside
Overloaded when my hands are tied
That's the time, when I need a hand
A helpin' hand, I need a helpin' 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 that I need a hand
A helpin' hand, I need a helpin' 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 awhile I need some company
I tell my friends, "Come see about me"
That's the time that I need a hand
Need a helpin' hand, need a helpin' hand

Need a helpin' hand, I need a helpin' hand
Need a helpin' hand, I need a helpin' hand
I need somebody to stand by me
I need somebody to stand by me, whoa, yeah

I need a hand, I need a helpin' hand
I need a hand, I need a helpin' hand
I need somebody, I need somebody
I need somebody, yeah, to stand by me
Oh, I need somebody, I need somebody
I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need somebody
