Help Yourself — текст песни (Joan Armatrading)

If you`re gonna do it do it right
Don`t leave it overnight
Ff you`re gonna help me help me now
Another ten minutes will be too late

Like a crying child
I need comfort now
Don`t pick me up
When the tears are dry on my face

Need someone to help me
But not you, you`re not ready
Seems you have trouble helping yourself

It takes time to notice
But you don`t seem to know time keeps moving
What you`re doing is wasting my time
You would help me more
Help me more if you helped yourself
Help yourself
Help yourself

You wanna get yourself together
Don`t you wanna put yourself to right
I said get yourself together
Don`t you wanna put yourself to right
I said no, don`t apologise
You`ve done your best
Seems it still ain`t right
Leave me alone
No more to be said
To get it right you got to do it yourself

I`m going out to help myself
Help myself
Help myself
I`m going out to help myself
Help myself
Help myself

If you`re gonna say it say it now
Don`t leave it overnight
If you`re gonna hold me hold me tight
I don`t wanna leave
Not if it seems all right

Like a crying child
I need comfort now
Don`t pick me up
When the tears are dry on my face

You`ve got to govern the situation
Nut not you, you`re no
And anyway, hold up
Hold up
Hold up
You`re trying to sort out your mind

You`ve got to get it together
You`ve got to get it together
It would help me more
Help more if you helped yourself
