Lyrics

Rod price / dave peverett / tony stevens / roger earl - knee trembler music - ascap

Been ignored and I been abused
Been mistreated and I've been misused
Been discouraged and turned aside
Overloaded when my hand's are tied
That's the time, when I need a hand - a helping hand, I need a helping hand

{Rod - solo}

Things I do are criticized
Ripped to pieces and analyzed
I tell the truth and they call me a liar
Exaggerator and a magnifier
That's the time, I need a hand - a helping hand, I need a helping hand
Yea!

{Rod - solo}

There were times when I lived alone
Lock the doors, disconnect the phone
I warn everybody, tell 'em not to call
Complete isolation, I need most of all
But after awhile I need some company
I tell my friends, come see about me
That's the time, when I need a hand - a helping hand, I need a helping hand

{Instrumental}

Need a helping hand, I need a helping hand
Need a helping hand, I need a helping hand
I need somebody to stand by me
I need somebody to stand by me
Whoa yea

{Rod - solo}

I need a hand, I need a helping hand
I need a hand, I need a helping hand
I need somebody, I need somebody
I need somebody, hey to stand by my me
