Help the poor
Won't you help poor me?
I need help from you, baby
Need it desperately
I need you so much
I need your care
Need all the loving, baby, you can spare
Help the poor
Oh, baby, won't you help poor me?
Say you will
Say you'll help me on
I can't make it no longer
In this world alone
Baby, I'm beggin' with tears in my eyes
For your love don't you realize
I need help
Oh baby, help poor me
You are my inspiration
Baby that's makes be a king
But if you don't come to my rescue
I couldn't ever be anything
Help the poor
Won't you help poor me?
Have a heart, won't you, baby?
Listen to my plead
Oh I lost my courage till I found you
You got what it takes baby
To pull me through
Help the poor
Oh baby, won't you help poor me?
You are my inspiration
Baby that's makes be a king
But if you don't come to my rescue
I couldn't ever be anything
Help the poor
Won't you help poor me?
Have a heart, won't you, baby?
Listen to my plead
Oh I lost my courage till I found you
You got what it takes baby
To pull me through
Help the poor
Oh baby, won't you help poor me?
