You Need A Mess Of Help To Stand Alone

[Verse 1]
I need a breeze blowing softly
To keep my wind vane from standing
I need a whole lot of sunshine
To keep my sundial advancing
I need some soil before my grass will grow
I need some spark to make my candle glow

[Chorus 1]
Relief I cried
There is no shuck 'n' jive
I need a mess of help to stand alone

[Verse 2]
I need a spark by a fire
To stop the cold of my winter
I need a burst of your raindrops
To keep a flow in my river
I need your call for my phone will ring
I need your song for my voice will sing
Please realize
I'm not half alive
Without a mess of help to stand alone

[Chorus 2]
(She don't know a thing)
(She don't know it)
(She don't know)
(She don't know a thing)
(She don't know it)
(She don't know)
(She don't know a thing)
(She don't know it)
(She don't know)
(She don't know a thing)
(She don't know it)
(She don't know)

[Verse 3]
I need the warmth of your smile
To heat my frostbitten sorrow
I need your hand on my shoulder
To lead today's to tomorrows
I need your strength to lock me to the track
I need your trust to bust the things I lack

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2] [x2]
