Every day I walk some lonely street   Searchin' 'til you come back to me   People around just stop and stare   As if they know the hurt I bear   And suddenly I realize      I'm in a helpless situation   And I need some consolation   'Cause my mind is in a confusion   And I'm having these strange illusions   Since you've been gone, I've been cryin' cryin' cryin' cryin'      Without a word, without a warning   You left my life on early morning   Did I lean on you a little too strong?   Too much of you, I depended on   All at once I'm alone      I'm in a helpless situation   And I need some consolation   'Cause my mind is in a confusion   And I'm having these strange illusions   Since you've been gone, I've been cryin' cryin' cryin' cryin'      In the shelter of your love, my strength I found   But now I'm useless, darlin', since you're not around   I'm helpless baby   Need some consolation, I need it, need it      Baby baby, I'm helpless, since I lost your love   Helpless 'cause now I need your love   I need your words of confidence   (Need it, need it)   I need those happy times we spent   Since you've been gone      I'm in a helpless situation   And I need some consolation   'Cause my mind is in a confusion   And I'm having these strange illusions   All at once it hit me, I'm alone, I'm alone      Oh, helpless since I lost your love   Helpless 'cause now I need your love   I never needed no one before   But now I need you more and more   I'm helpless 'til you come back to me   ...
