Temporary Help Lyrics by Emily Rose

Cocoon Stew

2009

[Verse 1]
You lay your hands on me
You bore my backbone with your claws
You reassure me of your goodness
Then you camouflage your flaws
You make me weep, you make me boil
You leave my love on the counter to spoil
If you really, really want to keep me
Stop pushing me around

[Chorus]
I don’t need nobody
I gots myself
Like a self-proclaimed acrobat
Swinging through your hell
Sometimes I guess I could use
Temporary help
This time I could use temporary help

[Verse 2]
You’re far from a blessing
And you’re worse than a curse
I confused a smooth love-boat ride
With a broke down hurse
(I said)
You make me weep
(And yeah)
You make me boil
You leave my love
You leave it on the counter
On the counter to spoil

[Chorus]
No, I don’t need nobody
I gots myself
Like a self-proclaimed acrobat
Swinging through your hell
Sometimes I guess I could use
Temporary help
This time I could use temporary help
