Joe Cocker - With a Little Help From My Friend

Live at Woodstock 1969

With a Little Help From My Friend Lyric

What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away?
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day?
Are you sad because you're on your own?

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love

Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine,

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends

Song Note : "John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote this. The Beatles recorded it a year earlier. The Beatles were so impressed with Cocker's version of this that they sent him a telegram of congratulations and placed an ad in the music papers praising it"

"This was recorded in 3/4 time - a waltz. The Beatles original version was in traditional 4/4 time"

Cocker also covered The Beatles "I'll Cry Instead," "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window," and "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away."

"Joe Cocker is only one of 2 acts who performed at Woodstock to have had a UK #1 hit. The other was Jimi Hendrix, who had a chart topper with 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return)'. "
