Helpless Lyrics by Chuck Jackson

The Motown Anthology

2005

[Verse 1]
(I'm helpless) Every day I walk some lonely street
(Helpless) Searching for you 'til you come back to me
(Ooh, I'm helpless) People around, they stop and stare
As if they know the hurt I bear
Then suddenly I realise I'm crying, crying, crying

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm in a helpless situation
And I need some consolation
'Cause my mind is in confusion
And my heart feels much abusion
Since you've been gone
Keeps me crying, crying, crying

[Bridge]
In the shelter of your love, my strength I found
But now I'm useless baby, since you're not around
Helpless, baby
(Ooh, I'm helpless)
(Helpless)
(Ooh, I'm helpless)

[Verse 2]
Helpless since I lost your love
Helpless 'cause now I need your love (Can you come back home)
I never needed no one before
But now I need you more and more
Ever since you've been gone
Keeps me crying, crying, crying

[Verse 3]
'Cause I'm helpless 'til you come back to me (Helpless)
Helpless in this world I grieve (Helpless, ooh I'm helpless)
I need your words of confidence
I need those happy times we spent
I'm in a hopeless state of confusion
And your love is the only solution

[Bridge]
As the night falls, and I can search for you no longer
As I go home alone, needing you grows stronger

[Chorus]
In a helpless situation
And I need some consolation ('Til you come back home)
'Cause my mind is in confusion (Since you've been gone)
'Til I'm having strange illusions
Loneliness deep inside
Keeps me crying, crying, crying

[Outro]
'Cause I'm in a helpless situation (Helpless)
And I need some consolation (Helpless, ooh I'm helpless)
'Cause I'm having strange illusions
And your love is the only solution
Ever since you've been gone
I've been crying, crying, crying

Helpless, since you've been gone (Helpless)
Helpless, baby please come home (Helpless, ooh I'm helpless)
Because my mind is in a state of confusion
And your love is the only solution
Helpless, helpless
Baby, helpless, come back home

(Helpless)
