Amy Winehouse - Help Yourself lyrics

When I walk in your shoes

I understand a man confused

They're much too big, but I don't care

I feel the weight your shoulders bear

Now I really empathize

Looking through your bloodshot eyes

And I know you, you so frustrated

But we all become what we once hated

Besides, nobody can be that wise

I can't help you if you won't help yourself

(help yourself, help yourself)

I can't help you if you don't help yourself

(help yourself)

You can only get so much from someone else

(You can get so much from me)

I can't help you if you won't help yourself

(help yourself)

You got a degree in philosophy

So you think you cleverer than me (cause you so smart)

But I'm not just some drama queen (drama queen)

Cause it's where you're at, not where you've been

So what do you expect from me

To hold your head above the sea (keep you high and dry)

And carry you, even though you bigger

Cause don't you know you crush my tiny figure

And anyway, we're still so young (yeah, I'm so young)

And this isn't yesterday

I can't help you if you won't help yourself,

I can't help you

I can't help you if you don't help yourself

You can only get so much from someone else

I can't help you if you won't help yourself

You might be twenty-five, but in my mind

I see you at sixteen years old most of the time

And I, I'm just a child and you full grown

And it was like nothing that I've ever known

You are like nothing that I ever knew
