Helpless — Manhattan Transfer

Every day I walk some lonely street Searchin' 'til you come back to me People around just stop and stare as if they know the hurt I bear And suddenly I realize

I'm in a helpless situation And I need some consolation 'Cause my mind is in a confusion And I'm having these strange illusions Since you've been gone I've been cryin' cryin' cryin' cryin'

Without a word without a warning you left my life on early morning Did I lean on you a little too strong Too much of you I depended on All at once I'm alone

I'm in a helpless situation And I need some consolation 'Cause my mind is in a confusion And I'm having these strange illusions Since you've been gone I've been cryin' cryin' cryin' cryin'

In the shelter of your love my strength I found But now I'm useless, darlin', since you're not around I'm helpless baby

Sax solo Background voices Need some consolation, I need it, need it

Baby baby I'm helpless since I lost your love Helpless 'cause now I need your love I need your words of confidence (need it, need it) I need those happy times we spent Since you've been gone

I'm in a helpless situation And I need some consolation 'Cause my mind is in a confusion And I'm having these strange illusions All at once it hit me, I'm alone I'm alone

Oh helpless since I lost your love Helpless 'Cause now I need your love I never needed no one before but now I need you more and more I'm helpless 'til you come back to me Helpless....(to fade)
