If you're gonna do it do it right 
Don't leave it overnight 
Ff you're gonna help me help me now 
Another ten minutes will be too late


Like a crying child 
I need comfort now 
Don't pick me up 
When the tears are dry on my face


Need someone to help me 
But not you, you're not ready 
Seems you have trouble helping yourself


It takes time to notice 
But you don't seem to know time keeps moving 
What you're doing is wasting my time 
You would help me more 
Help me more if you helped yourself 
Help yourself 
Help yourself


You wanna get yourself together 
Don't you wanna put yourself to right 
I said get yourself together 
Don't you wanna put yourself to right 
I said no, don't apologise 
You've done your best 
Seems it still ain't right 
Leave me alone 
No more to be said 
To get it right you got to do it yourself


I'm going out to help myself 
Help myself 
Help myself 
I'm going out to help myself 
Help myself 
Help myself


If you're gonna say it say it now 
Don't leave it overnight 
If you're gonna hold me hold me tight 
I don't wanna leave 
Not if it seems all right


Like a crying child 
I need comfort now 
Don't pick me up 
When the tears are dry on my face


You've got to govern the situation 
Nut not you, you're no 
And anyway, hold up 
Hold up 
Hold up 
You're trying to sort out your mind


You've got to get it together 
You've got to get it together 
It would help me more 
Help more if you helped yourself
