About "With a Little Help from My Friends" by The Beatles

"With a Little Help from My Friends" is a song off of The Beatles' critically-acclaimed 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The song was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, while drummer Ringo Starr provided the vocals. The tune was also famously covered by Joe Crocker in 1968. 

"With a Little Help from My Friends " by The Beatles lyrics 

What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away?
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day?
Are you sad because you're on your own?

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love

Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine

Do you need anybody?
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Oh, I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes, I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends
