英文乡村歌曲：Julianne Hough - Help Me Help You

Well, she started with a margarita
Then she went to straight tequila
And before the night was over, oh
Her little secret was between us
But she laughed, I cried
And she said, "I'll be fine."

Now she's barely¹ walking and I'm thinking²
Wonder how long she's been drinking, like this
She looks me in the eye and says, "I swear³ I'm quitting⁴."
I almost believed it
Then she cried but she lies
'Cause that's what she said last Saturday night

How am I suppose to help
Somebody when they tell you
That they don't need help
How am I suppose to reach a soul⁵
That doesn't know they need to save themselves
My friend, I've done all I can do
You've got to
Help me, help you

Oh, I get home from work
I turn the TV on
The telephone's a ringing
Her little girl is crying
Says, "I can't wake mama up from sleeping."
Well, I burned that road
Opened up the door, she says,
"Leave me alone."

How am I suppose to help
Somebody when they tell you
That they don't need help
How am I suppose to reach a soul
That doesn't know they need to save themselves
My friend, I've done all I can do
You've got to
Help me, help you

It's been 4 years and now I stand
In the back of the room
She said, "I started with a margarita
Then I went to straight tequila."
12 steps, 4 years, and 27 days
And now I stand before you
Help me, help you
