What would you think if I sang out of tune
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 to sing out of key

I get by with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
Going to 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
I get high with a little help from my friends
Going to 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
Get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I'm going to try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody,
I just need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Going to try with a little help from my friends
Oh 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
