You know it nearly killed me 
When you told me we were through 
I never realized all the damage he could do 
I haven't been with a man 
Ever since the day he left 
Take it easy on me baby
I need all the help I can get.
It's so hard when you're hurt in this way 
For woman to find right word to say 
I trip and I stumble 
And my hand beggin' to sweat 
Take it easy on me baby 
I need all the help I can get.
I've been walkin' wounded 
Blinded by tears 
Trying' to live along after all this years 
Thought my love will change 
But it ain't change yet 
So be good to me baby 
I need all the help I can get.
They say one time burned 
Two time shy 
For so long I could not even try 
But being here with you 
I feel a whole lot more like myself 
take it easy on me baby 
I need all the help I can get.
