Girl have you ever been hungry So hungry that you had no pride? Well I got that feeling That biting, gnawing deep inside It's a funny pain One I can't explain You gotta help me girl Help me girl Cause I'm going insane I know about all the good things And what that long green stuff can buy Right or wrong it's a groove girl Yet somehow I'm not satisfied You gotta show me the way Turn my night into day You gotta help me girl Help me girl Cause I'm going insane Oh, I need someone Someone to comfort me Be my someone Be my reality girl You gotta show me the way And turn my night into day Help me girl Help me girl Cause I'm going insane Oh, Help me girl Help me Baby Help me girl In need your love I need your love so bad Help me
