Lyrics Gilbert O'Sullivan

Gilbert O'Sullivan

Help Is On The Way

So you want to love me

But you don't know why

You've got a problem up ahead

That's in sight

Love to meet your uncle

Only as I was saying

I have a relative myself the same type

Call yourself a man

I said, why not if it's true

I said, you call yourself a taxi and fly

And like a bird she flew out of the window

Leaving me a box of milk tray

A note upon it to say

If nothing's alright it's okay

'Cause help is on the way

Sorry to disturb you

At this awful hour

But I was wondering

If you have the time

Supposed to meet a woman here

At half past eight

And now you're telling me

It's already nine

Man you should have seen it

As the boat overturned

There was a cry out

From a hand or a leg

And like a stone she went

Down to the bottom

Leaving us above in dismay

Despite the captain who'd say

If nothing's alright it's okay

'Cause help is on the way

I got a letter

It came as a note

It said, I'm sorry

I haven't spoke

It was written out in Braille

So I knew that it felt good

Right from the start, solo part

I tried to reach you

But you weren't at home

I left a message

Right after the tone It said, sorry I'm not in

If you'd care to call again

I'll get back to you, back to you

So you want to love me

But you don't know why

You've got a bee up in your bonnet

That's fine

Nothing like a buzz going around

Your head

To clear the cobwebs from the state

Of your mind

Well, you won't believe this

But believe me

It's true

I had this woman

In the palm of my hand

When like a madman

She leap out the window Leaving me a box of milk tray

A note upon it to say,

If nothing's alright it's okay

'Cause help is on the way.
