I Don't Need No Help Songtext
von Valerie Simpson

Every now and then
I get the feelin′
That I've got something to say
Every now and then I get the feelin′
That I wanna say it my way

And I don't want no horns blowing
I don't want the strings to play a melody
I don′t wanna hear the guitar strumming
Don′t wanna hear no voices in back of me
I'm not gonna use words that rhyme
I don′t want the drummer to help me keep time
'Cause I don′t need nobody's help
Said I don′t need nobody's help, mmm
To say I love you, yeah

I wanna tell you right now, baby
That I love you, oh oh oh
From the bottom of my heart
I love you, ooh


But sometimes, I feel like I wanna do more for you, oh yes I do
And singin', it don′t always sound so tough, no no
But I sit right down and let my hands play for me
And ain′t they play, they oughta be good enough

Ooh, I love you, yeah
It's kinda playin′ when I play, I love you
You know it's the kind of thing
A girl likes to say for herself, yeah
I love you

Ooh, and every now and then
I get the feelin′
I get something I wanna say, yeah yeah
Every now and then I get the feelin'
That I wanna say it my way

And I don′t want no horns blowing
I don't want the strings to play a melody, hey now
I don't wanna hear, I don′t wanna hear the guitar strumming
Don′t wanna hear no voices in back of me
I'm not gonna use words that rhyme
I don′t want the drummer to help me keep time
'Cause I don′t need nobody's help
Said I don′t need nobody's help, mmm
To say I love you, yeah


It oughta be plain by now that I love you, oh
Darlin', darlin′, darlin′, yeah, I love you, ooh yeah
I wanna play, I love you, yeah
Ooh ooh yeah

You know, sometimes early in the morning
I look at you
And hey baby, I just gotta say
Yes, I do
And then later in the midday, yeah
Even when you're not home
I think about you, hey, and it′s on my mind, yes it is
And late in the evenin', talkin′ 'bout the midnight hour
I can′t help myself, I gotta lay it on ya one more time
I love you, yeah, lady
I love you, ooh
Hey, make no mistake about it, I really love you, yeah

Don't you ever go nowhere
Don't you ever go nowhere
Hey hey, I′m hooked on you, baby
Don′t you know I'm hooked on you, baby
Hey, because I know what I′ve got
I know that it's good, yeah

I really love you, yeah, oh
I love you, yeah, oh oh
I love you, yeah yeah yeah, ooh

And oh oh, when you get weak, hey
I want you to lean on me
You find the strength that you need
Baby, lean on me
I don′t need to tell you what you mean
Oh, you already know, oh
My soul exists, exists
Oh, loving you so, aye
I found I'm tested and true
Said I′m tried, tested, and true

Hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, I love you

Ooh, my love is like a river
Never stop flowin', no
Hey, hey, my love's like a river
Said it never stops goin′, aye
And I don′t need nobody
I don't need nobody′s help
I don't need nobody
I don′t need nobody's help
