[Verse 1]
I need a breeze blowing soft air
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

[Chorus]
Relief I cried, ain't no shuck 'n' jive
I need a mess of help to stand alone

[Verse 2]
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 your call 'fore my phone will ring
I need your song 'fore my voice will sing

[Chorus]
Please realize, I'm not half alive
Without a mess of help to stand alone

[Bridge]
(She don't know a thing)
(She don't know it)
(She don't know)
(She don't know a thing)
(She don't know it)
(She don't know)
(She don't know a thing)
(She don't know it)
(She don't know)
(She don't know a thing)
(She don't know it)
(She don't know)
[Verse 3]
Well, 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 tracks
I need your trust to bust the things I lack

[Chorus]
Relief I cried, ain't no shuck 'n' jive
I need a mess of help to stand alone

[Outro]
