I never needed (1) anybody’s help in any way

But now these days are gone, I’m not so (2) self assured (but now these days are gone)

(And now I find) Now I find (3) I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I’m (4) feeling down

And I do appreciate you being (5) ’round

Help me get my (6) feet back on the ground

(7) Won’t you please, please help me?

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways (and now my life has changed)

My independence seems to (8) vanish in the (9) haze

But (10) every now and then I feel so insecure (I know that I)

I know that I just need you like I’ve never done before
