With A Little Help From My Friends
Beatles · Yellow Submarine (1999 Reissue)
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 o 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
Mm, 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 by 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 get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody 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
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends
With A Little Help From My Friends
Released on the 1999 reissue of Yellow Submarine, this Beatles track stands as a cornerstone of their psychedelic rock era. Originally recorded in 1966, the song features Paul McCartney's distinctive vocal performance and guitar work, blending with John Lennon's contributions to create a harmonious, uplifting sound. It was written for the film of the same name, serving as a pivotal moment in the band's transition toward more experimental studio techniques. The composition exemplifies the group's ability to weave complex arrangements into an accessible pop structure, influencing countless artists who followed in the 1960s and beyond. As a staple of their discography, it remains a defining example of the era's musical innovation and cultural impact.
