Help the poor
Won’t you help poor me
I need help from you, baby
Need it desperately
Oh! I need you so much, I need your care
I 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
I lost my courage till I found you
You’re got what it take, baby, to pull me through
Help the poor, oh, baby, won’t you help poor me

You are my inspiration
You can help me be a queen
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, will you, baby
Listen to my plea
I lost my courage till I found you
You’re got what it takes, baby, to pull me through
Help the poor, oh, baby, won’t you help poor me

You are my inspiration
You can help me be a queen
But if you don’t come to my rescue
I couldn’t ever, ever be anything

Help the poor
Won’t you help poor me
Have a heart, will you, baby
Listen to my plea
I lost my courage till I found you
You’re got what it takes, baby, to pull me through
Help the poor, oh, baby, won’t you help poor me.
