I need a breeze blowing softly 
To keep my wind vane from standing 
I need a whole lot of sunshine 
To keep my sundial advancing 
I need some soil 'fore my grass will grow 
I need some spark to make my candle glow 
 
Relief I cried 
Ain't no shuck 'n' jive 
I need a mess of help to stand alone 
 
I need a spark by a fire 
To stop the cold of my winter 
I need a burst of your raindrops 
To keep a flow in my river 
I need a call for my phone will ring 
I need your song for my voice will sing 
 
Please realize 
I'm not half alive 
Without a mess of help to stand alone 
 
(She don't know me) 
(She don't know it) 
(She don't know) 
(She don't know me) 
(She don't know it) 
(She don't know) 
(She don't know me) 
(She don't know it) 
 
(She don't know me) 
(She don't know it) 
(She don't know) 
(She don't know me) 
(She don't know it) 
(She don't know) 
(She don't know me) 
(She don't know it) 
 
I need the warmth of your smile 
To heat my frostbitten sorrow 
I need your hand on my shoulder 
To lead todays to tomorrows 
I need your strength to lock me to the track 
I need your trust to bust the things I lack 
 
Belief I cried 
Ain't no shuck  'n' jive 
I need a mess of help to stand alone 
 
(She don't know me) 
(She don't know it) 
(She don't know) 
(She don't know me) 
(She don't know it) 
(She don't know) 
(She don't know me) 
(She don't know it) 
 
(She don't know me) 
(She don't know it) 
(She don't know) 
(She don't know me) 
(She don't know it) 
(She don't know) 
(She don't know me)
