Help Yourself

When I walk in your shoes I understand a man confused There must have been but I don't care I feel the way your soul does there Darling they empathize Looking through your bloodshot eyes And I know you you're so frustrated Above we all become what we once hated Be slight nobody can be that wise I can't help you if you won't help yourself No I can't help you if you don't help yourself You can only get so much from someone yeah You can get so much from me I can't help you if you won't help yourself You've got the degree in philosophy So you think you're cleverer than me ('Cause you so smart) But I'm not just some drama queen (Drama queen) 'Cause it's where you're at not where you've been So what do you expect from me (What do you want) To hold your head above the sea (Keep you high and dry) And carry you even though you're bigger 'Cause don't you know you crush my tiny figure And anyway we're still so young (Yeah I'm so young) And this isn't yet the day I can't help you if you won't help yourself No I can't help you if you don't help yourself (You won't help yourself) You can only get so much from someone yeah I can't help you if you won't help yourself You might be twenty-five but in my mind I see you at sixteen years oh most of the time And I'm, I'm just a child and you're full grown And no I'm nothing like I've ever known yeah You are like nothing that I ever knew --- Help Yourself - Amy Winehouse
