Need All the Help I Can Get

You know it nearly killed me
When you told me we were through
I never realized all the damage he could do
I haven't been with a man
Ever since the day he left
Take it easy on me baby
I need all the help I can get

It's so hard when you're hurt in this way
For woman to find right word to say
I trip and I stumble
And my hand beggin' to sweat
Take it easy on me baby
I need all the help I can get

I've been walkin' wounded
Blinded by tears
Trying' to live along after all this years
Thought my love will change
But it ain't change yet
So be good to me baby
I need all the help I can get

They say one time burned
Two time shy
For so long I could not even try
But being here with you
I feel a whole lot more like myself
Take it easy on me baby
I need all the help I can get
