Help!
Bananarama · The Very Best Of Bananarama [2001]
Wait wait wait, what's the first line again ?
Help !
Oh yeah.
One two...
Help !
No wait !
Sorry.
One two three four
Help! I need somebody
Help! Not just anybody
Help! You know I need someone
Help!
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
And now those days are gone, I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the door
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
Down down down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
'Round 'round 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Ground ground ground
Won't you please, please help me
Pete, look, I think I'm a bit toppy.
Yeah and I'm a bit bottomy, Pete.
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like I've never done before
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
HELP!
And I do appreciate you being 'round
HELP!
Help me get my feet back on the ground
HELP!
Won't you please, please help me
They're gonna take the Bananas off it aren't they ?
Yeah. They're just doing backing vocals. We're singing the medley.
Well, we better be. Otherwise there'll be trouble.
Yeah I know !
When I was younger, so much younger than today

Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the door
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
Down down down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
'Round round round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Ground ground ground
Won't you please, please help me
