Help Yourself

Tom Jones · Greatest Hits [2006]

Love is like candy on a shelf

You want a taste, then help yourself

The sweetest things are there for you

Help yourself, take a few

That's what I want you to do



We're always told repeatedly

The very best in life is free

And if you want to prove it's true

Baby, I'm telling you

This is what you should do



Just help yourself to my lips, to my arms

Just say the word and they are yours

Just help yourself to the love in my heart

Your smile has opened up the door

The greatest wealth that exists in the world

Could never buy what I can give

Just help yourself to my lips, to my arms

And then let's really start to live



My heart has love enough for two

More than enough for me and you

I'm rich with love, a millionaire

I've so much, it's unfair

Why don't you take a share



Just help yourself to my lips, to my arms

Just say the word and they are yours

Just help yourself to the love in my heart

Your smile has opened up the door

The greatest wealth that exists in the world

Could never buy what I can give

So help yourself to my lips, to my arms

And then let's really start to live



Just help yourself to my lips, to my arms

Just say the word, and they are yours

Just help yourself to the love in my heart

Your smile has opened up the door
