[Verse 1]
What would you do if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
I will try not to sing out of key

[Chorus 1]
Oh, baby I get by (By with a little help from my friends)
All I need is my buddies (High with a little help from my friends)
I say I'm gonna get high (Try with a little help from my friends)
Oh yeah (Oooooh)

[Verse 2]
What do I do when my love is away?
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
No, no
How do I feel at the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)
I tell ya I don't get sad no more

[Chorus 2]

Gonna get by with my friends (High with a little help from my friends)
Yeah yeah, I'm gonna try (Try with a little help from my friends)
Keep on getting high, oh Lord (Oooooh)

I can't tell you but it sure feels like mine
