You gotta help me, baby I can't do it by myself 
You gotta help me, woman I can't do it by myself 
If you don't help me mama, I got to find somebody else 
I might wash, I might have to sew, 
I might cook, I might mop the floor 
But baby, I can't do it by myself 
If you don't help me mama, I got to find somebody else 
Bring me my nightshirt baby, put on your mornin' gown 
Bring me my nightshirt baby, put on your mornin' gown 
I don't feel like sleepin', baby I wanna lay down 
You gotta help me, baby I can't do it by myself 
You gotta help me, woman I can't do it by myself 
If you don't help me mama, I got to find somebody else
