I got a heavy load to carry
I gotta move it all the way
I got a messy past to bury
if I wanna face today

there’s a world to remind me
of the good things I’ve lost
slipping through my fingers
should have kept them crossed

can’t do it all by myself
I need a little help
to get where I should be
can’t do it all by myself
I know it all to well, please

I gotta find a new horizon
I want a new life, she said
she blew smoke in circles
then left me for dead

in came a little spider
said it’s lonely by the web
why don’t we get together
and I’ll show you how to thread, he said

can’t do it all by myself
I need a little help
to get where I should be
can’t do it all by myself
I know it all to well, please

can’t do it all by myself
I need a little help
to get where I should be
can’t do it all by myself
I remember well, please
