Help Yourself lyrics

To live for today and to love for tomorrow

is the wisdom of a fool

because tomorrow is promised to noone
you see
love is that wonderful thing
that the whole world needs plenty of.
If you think for one minute that you can live without it

then you are only fooling yourself.
Listen
please
I like to tell you something
that happened to me just the other day.

Now people you know I am
I need all I can do
(huh) - but I got a problem now
And I'm gonna tell you about it

I'm looking for this woman you see
Listen, this is the way the story goes

Looking out my window, looking at the rain
Nothing left but sorrow, nothing left but pain
Why you'd go and leave me
Set me alone and blue
Looking out my window, woman, trying to find you

There was time when your hand
reached for mine
And a moment apart would mean
breaking your heart
Now you're out of my arms
And we're strangers again
Is it this easy then, for a real love to end
Oh, please...turn your back...
walk away from me
I didn't dream you'd cry
I'm standing here as I've set you free
And all I can say is goodbye
I've tried everything but we must go away

I watch the leaves falling to the ground
I'm walking up and down
The streets of my hometown
You're here with me like it used to be
I look around and then I'm on my own again

Can't stop loving you
Can't stop wanting you
Can't stop now that you
Made me part of you
I've heard some people say
I'm dreaming my life away
But what else can I do
Can't stop loving you

Love is like candy on a shelf
You want to taste and help yourself
The sweetest things are there for you
Help yourself, take a few
That's what I want you to do.

We're always told repeatedly
The very best in life is free
And if you want to prove it's true
Baby I'm telling you
This is what you should do
Just help yourself to my lips
To my arms just say the word, and they are yours
