Let Me Help You
Letra:
[English]
Ooh, oh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, yeah
Will you let me walk you into town?
Make the sadness turn around
Dry the tears drops from your eyes
Make the lonely days go back
And will lift you up and then
Turn the world into your friend
Let me help you smile again
Let me help you smile again
Again
For a long time now I've been watching you
Go to work and stay back home
From the shopping bag you carry
I can tell you live alone
And that you need someone to talk to
Someone to confide in
But please cheer up
Never give up
Let it go and be seen, yeah
Let me walk you into town
Make the sadness turn around
Dry the tears drops from your eyes
Let the lonely days go by
And we'll lift you up and then
Turn the world into your friend
Let me help you smile again
Let me help you smile again
Again
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Something tells me you're a good woman
You deserve a whole lot more
If it's heartbreak that you suffer
Think I can find a cure
I won't pretend to be the answer
But I can do a thing or two, yeah
Just don't give up
Please cheer up
Let it go and be seen
Let me walk you into town
Make the sadness turn around
Dry the tears drops from your eyes
Let the lonely days go by
And I will lift you up and then
Turn the world into your friend
Let me help you smile again
Let me help you smile again
Again, yeah
Oh, will you let me walk you into town?
Make the sadness turn around
Dry the tears drops from your eyes
Let the lonely days go by
And I will lift you up and then
Turn the world into your friend
Let me help you smile again
Let me help you smile again
Again
