Ringo Starr!

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.

Why?
I get by with a little help from my friends
Oh, I get high with a little help from my friends
Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away?
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
Where do I go at the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Yeah, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

(Do you need anybody?)
I need somebody to love.
(Could it be anybody?)
I just need someone 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.

I get by with a little help from my friends.
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends,
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

(Do you need anybody?)
Oh yeah, I need someone to love.
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Mm, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.
Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.
Try with a little help from my friends,
With a little help from my friends.

(Hey, hey, hey)
(Yeah)

(Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends)
(Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends)
(Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends)

By with a little help from my friends,
A little help from my friends.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
