Lyr Req: Help! (Beatles & Fountains of Wayne)

From: GUEST,cheyenne

The question is in the title, i cannot seem to find the song "help" by Fountains of Wayne, it was included in the soundtrack to Cheaper by the dozen.
Nobody seems to have this song, any ideas??

probably because it is reasonably new and throuroughly under copyright.

According to the soundtrack listing at IMDB: Soundtrack for Cheaper By The Dozen, the Help in question is the Beatles song (which you should be able to find in a million places eg
Help ).

On the other hand, IMDB may have it wrong. The official web site Fountains of Wayne may help!

Well, if it is the Beatles song, this is what I can remember:

    When I was young, well so much younger than today,
    I never needed anybody's help in any way.
    But now these days are done, I'm not so self-assured,
    And now I find I've changed my mind, I opened up the door.

    Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
    And I do appreciate your being 'round
    Help me get my feet back on the ground
    Won't you please, please help me.


I wouldn't vouch for the accuracy of those lyrics, but it's close enough that you should be able to determine if that's the song. If you can remember a distinctive phrase from the song, put it in quotes in Google, and it may come up.
    "appreciate your being" "get my feet back"
Should do it for this one.

Help!
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney, 1965)

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.
