I don't need a new prescription, that's all right
I don't need a different pill or another war to fight
I don't need a new prescription, but I sure could use a friend tonight
I don't need to see the preacher, no I don't
I don't think a Hail Mary would keep my soul afloat
I would go to see the preacher if I thought he was my friend, but I don't
I just need someone to talk to, hell I need a shoulder to cry on
I just need someone to listen, lighten up the dark until it's gone, oh long gone
Help me move along
If somebody were to ask, I'd say I'm fine
There's no need to trouble strangers with truth that you can hide
I just wish that I had someone to look into my eyes and see my mind
I just need someone to talk to, hell I need a shoulder to cry on
I just need someone to listen, lighten up the dark until it's gone, oh long gone
Help me move along
Won't you please excuse my asking for your help
I've had all that I can stand, can't you look at me and tell
If you'll please excuse my asking, the devil might let me walk out of hell
If I had someone to talk to, if I had a shoulder to cry on
If I had someone to listen, lighten up the dark until it's gone, oh long gone
Help me move along
Help me move along
