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
