Lyrics
Can I be of any help to you, baby
She says help me, help her, help him too
Well, I made up my mind I won’t be calling
I think about you and
I think about the heartbroken ones
It’s a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun tell the world
Well, it’s a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun tell the world
High in my life obsessive was my love
Worth it was my time
Oh no, you are fading out
Well, I can do it
Well, I can make it one more time
It’s a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun tell the world
Well it’s a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun tell the world
Can I be of any help to you?
She says help him, help her, help him too, baby
Well I can do it
Well I can make it one more time
Well it’s a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already did that
Have fun tell the world
Well it’s a real long way to go to say goodbye
I thought we already said that
So have fun tell the world
You were high in my life obsessive was my love
So have fun tell the world
Oh no, you are fading out
Well, can you be of any help to me
Can I be of any help to you
I don’t think so
Help him help her
Well, I can do it
Well, I can make it
Well, can you be of any help to me
Have fun tell the world
Ooh….you were high in my life
