Help Me To Help Myself

John Lennon · Other Songs - John Lennon

Well, I tried so hard to stay alive

But the angel of destruction keeps on houndin' me all around

But I know in my heart

That we never really parted, oh no

They say the Lord helps those who helps themselves

So I'm asking this question in the hope that you'll be kind

'Cause I know deep inside I was never satisfied, oh no

Lord, help me, Lord

Please, help me, Lord, yeah yeah yeah

Help me to help myself

Help me to help myself
