The Barclay James Harvest - Lady Macbeth lyrics

When I walk in your shoes

I understand a man confused

There must have been but I don't care

I feel the way your soul does there

Darling they empathise

Looking through your bloodshot eyes

And I know you you're so frustrated

Above we all become what we once hated

Be slight nobody can be that wise

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

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

You can only get so much from someone yeah

You can get so much from me

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

You've got a degree a in philosophy

So you think you're cleverer than me

But I'm not just some drama queen

Cos 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

And there are you even though you're bigger

Cos don't you know you crush my tiny figure

And anyway we're still so young

And this isn't yet the day

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

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

You can only get so much from someone yeah

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

You might be twenty-five but in my mind

I see you at sixteen years or most of the time

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

And no I'm nothing like I've ever known yeah

I'm nothing like I've ever known
