Lyrics

If I can't help me who's gonna help me?
I'm a long ways down. Who's gonna help me?
If you won't help me who's gonna help me?
It's a long ways up. Who's gonna help me?

I been sitting in my room staring at the ceiling
Been sitting all alone. I need another point of view
I been sitting in my room. I need a change of scenery
Been sitting all alone. I wonder what I'm gonna do

I went to the doctor. Doctor can you help me?
Got an aching in my heart. I'm having trouble sleeping
He said, take this note, take it to the pharmacy
It'll help with the pain but it ain't gonna cure you

So I went to the church. Father can you help me?
I don't believe in god. I don't believe in anything
Went to the church. Father can you help me?
He said you're all already lost and no one here can save you

Been bustin up my hands – try to make some money
Cuz everybody sayin you gotta make some money
Been bustin up my hands – try to make some money
But I spent it all on cigarettes and coffee

So I went to my love, said, baby can you help me?
When I stumble when I fall baby will you catch me?
I went to my love. Baby can you help me?
She said I've troubles of my own. I got no time to help you

If I can't help me who's gonna help me?
I'm a long ways down. Who's gonna help me?
If you won't help me who's gonna help me?
It's a long ways up. Who's gonna help me?
