Gilbert O'Sullivan Help Is On The Way lyrics

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've got 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
'Cos 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
'Cos help is on the way

I got a letter, came as a note
It said, ‽I'm sorry but I haven't spoke"

It was written out in Braille so I knew that it felt good
Right from the start, solo part

'Cos help is on the way

I tried to reach you but you weren't at home
I left a message right after the tone
I 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 leapt out the window
Leaving me a box of milk tray

A note upon it to say
If nothing goes right, it's okay
'Cos help is on the way

Help is on the way
Help is on the way
Help is on the way
