The Foghat - Helping Hand lyrics

Rod Price / Dave Peverett / Tony Stevens / Roger Earl - Knee Trembler Music - ASCAP

Been ignored and I been abused,

Been mistreated and I've been misused,

Been discouraged and turned aside,

Overloaded when my hand's are tied.

That's the time, when I need a hand - A helping hand, I need a helping hand.

{Rod - solo}

Things I do are criticized,

Ripped to pieces and analyzed,

I tell the truth and they call me a liar,

Exaggerator and a magnifier.

That's the time, I need a hand - A helping hand, I need a helping hand

Yea!

{Rod - Solo}

There were times when I lived alone,

Lock the doors, disconnect the phone.

I warn everybody, tell 'em not to call,

Complete isolation, I need most of all.

But after awhile I need some company,

I tell my friends, come see about me.

That's the time, when I need a hand - A helping hand, I need a helping hand

{Instrumental}

Need a helping hand, I need a helping hand,

Need a helping hand, I need a helping hand,

I need somebody to stand by me,

I need somebody to stand by me,

Whoa yea

{Rod - Solo}

I need a hand, I need a helping hand,

I need a hand, I need a helping hand,

I need somebody, I need somebody,

I need somebody, hey to stand by my me
