Can U Help Me Lyrics

Living on the edge out of control
And the world just won't let me slow down
but in my biggest picture, was a photo of you and me
Girl you know I try, I work hard to provide all the material things
That I thought would make you happy
I'm confused can you make me understand
Cause I try to give you the best of me
I thought we we're cool maybe I was blind
but never took time to see

Chorus:
Will U help me
Tell me what you want from me
Can U help me
Tell me why U wanna leave
Baby help me
Without U my whole world is falling apart
And I'm going crazy
Life's a prison when you're in love alone

I need U to come back home(U know I need U)
I don't wanna be alone

Girl I put your love up on the shelf
And I guess I just left it to die
And now we're not together
Cause I hurt U too many times
And now you're not around
I wish for every moment in time that got wasted
We used it to make sweet love
Baby be my guide
Please take my hand
I want you to know that I got you if you need it
Don't wanna be on the outside looking in
I gotta have you girl can't you see it

Will you help me
Tell me what you want from me
Should you help me
Tell me why you wanna leave
Baby help me
Cause Without you my whole world is falling apart
And without you I think I'll go crazy
Life's a prison when you're in love alone
I need you to come back home(you know I need you)
I don't wanna be alone

Please stay don't go
I don't want it to be over
Give me another chance
I wanna be your man
Girl you got me
Down here on my knees
Crying, beggin', pleadin'
I'll do anything for your love

Would you help me
Tell me what you want from me
Can you help me
Tell me why you wanna leave
Baby help me
Without you my whole world is falling apart
And without you girl I'm going crazy
Life's a prison without your love

can you help me
tell me why, why, why, why, why
can u help me
girl I'll never stop
girl your all I've got
can you help me
help me understand
I can be your man
It's driving me crazy
oh girl I love ya
You know I need ya
Can't live without ya
Oh girl I love ya
You know I need ya
Can't live without ya
Oh girl I love ya
You know I need ya
Can't live without ya
Oh girl I love ya
You know I need ya
Can't live without ya
You know I need ya

U Got It Bad

My Boo (feat. Alicia Keys)

Confessions Part II

I need U to come back home(U know I need U)
I don't wanna be alone

Girl I put your love up on the shelf
And I guess I just left it to die
And now we're not together
Cause I hurt U too many times
And now you're not around 
I wish for every moment in time that got wasted
We used it to make sweet love
Baby be my guide
Please take my hand
I want you to know that I got you if you need it
Don't wanna be on the outside looking in
I gotta have you girl can't you see it

Please stay don't go
I don't want it to be over
Give me another chance
I wanna be your man
Girl you got me
Down here on my knees
Crying, beggin', pleadin'
I'll do anything for your love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song is about a man who has lost his luv and he wants her to help him understand why she left because he gave her everything he thought would make her happy. he would trade makin luv to her for some quality time with her. this song is so good and so touching in a way it makes you think that just giving people material things isnt enough, its about giving them your time and attention cause they can be gone the next thing you know.

everytime i listen to this song i think of my gf. it just makes you realize that you have to give your all in a relation, you cant hold back and provide just material things, you have to put your emotional all in a relationship as well.....
