With A Little Help From My Friends Lyrics

By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Recorded live at the Jazz Festival, Montreux


Okay, another one of those songs you all know and love and you all know the words so I wanna hear you
Louder than the band this time, okay?
YEAH!
I said louder than the band this time, okay?
YEAH!! Thank you! Ha! Ha!
Pretty frightening when you do that!


WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF I SANG OUT OF TUNE
WOULD YOU STAND UP AND WALK OUT ON ME?
LEND ME YOUR EARS AND I'LL SING YOU A SONG
AND I'LL TRY NOT TO SING OUT OF KEY.

OH, I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS,
MM, I GET HIGH WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS,
OH, I'M GONNA TRY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS.

WHAT DO I DO WHEN MY LOVE IS AWAY?
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
HOW DO I FEEL AT THE END OF THE DAY?
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)

NO, I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS,
MM, I'M GET HIGH WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS,
OH, I'M GONNA TRY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS.

(Do you need anybody?)
I NEED SOMEBODY TO LOVE.
(Could it be anybody?)
I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO LOVE.

(Would you believe in a love at first sight?)
YES, I'M CERTAIN THAT IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
(What do you see when you turn out the light?)
I CAN'T TELL YOU BUT I KNOW IT'S MINE.

MM, I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS, LET ME SEE THE FIGURES!
HIGH WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS,
MM, I'M GONNA TRY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS.

(Do you need anybody?)
I NEED SOMEBODY TO LOVE.
(Could it be anybody?)
I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO LOVE.

HEY!

(Do you need anybody?)
I NEED SOMEBODY TO LOVE.
(Could it be anybody?)
I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO LOVE.

(Would you believe in a love at first sight?)
CERTAIN THAT IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
(What do you see when you turn out the light?)
I CAN'T TELL YOU BUT I KNOW IT'S MINE.

OH, I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS,
MM, I GET HIGH WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS,
OH, I'M GONNA TRY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS.
OH, I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS,
WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS.

TWO, ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, HEY!

HEY! HEY! COME ON!

Okay, you've been such a great audience, I love you all!
Don't forget it's peace and love and thank you once again. Thank you and good night!
Good night!

(By with a little help from my friends)
(By with a little help from my friends)
(By with a little help from my friends)
(By with a little help from my friends)
(By with a little help from my friends)
(By with a little help from my friends)
(By with a little help from my friends)
(By with a little help from my friends)
