Please Help Me If You Can

[Verse 1]
It's my turn to be
All alone this time
Somebody had played
An old trick on me
Ah ha

It's no use pretending
I should know better
Someone in that frame
Of mind at the time
Ah ha
Ah ha

[Chorus]
Baby don't you know
I've been away for a long long time, baby
You got to understand
Nobody knows where I've been
Not even me
And that's for sure
I won't risk another ache
No, somebody please
What am I gonna do, ooh baby
Please help me if you can

[Verse 2]
If one man could make
So many unhappy
Like I had done to anybody
I will not be long
Say what I have to
Somebody has played
An old trick on me
Ah ha
Ah ha

[Chorus]
Baby don't you know
I've been away for a long long time, baby
You got to understand
Nobody knows where I've been
Not even me
And that's for sure
I won't risk another ache
No, somebody please
What am I gonna do, ooh baby
Please help me if you can

[Bridge]
No one has the right to do (no one has the right)
Some of the things that I did (no one, aah)
I should have listened to (I should have listened, baby)
All of the things that you said

[Chorus]
And I've been away for a long long time, baby
You got to understand
Nobody knows where I've been
Not even me
And that's for sure
I won't risk another ache
No, somebody please
What am I gonna do, ooh baby
Please help me if you can

[Chorus]
I've been away for a long long time, baby (if you can)
You got to understand
Nobody knows where I've been
Not even me
And that's for sure (I won't risk)
I won't risk another ache (not another ache, no no)
No, somebody please
What am I gonna do, ooh baby (yeah, yeah)
Please help me
If you can
