Living on the edge out of control
And the world just won't let me slow down
But in my biggest picture, was a photo of you and me
Girl U know I try, I work hard to provide all the material things
That I thought would make U happy
I'm confused can U make me understand
Cause I try to give U the best of me
I thought we we're cool maybe I was blind
But never took time to see

Will U help me
Tell me what you want from me
Can U help me
Tell me why U wanna leave
Baby help me
Without U my whole world is falling apart
And I? going crazy
Life's a prison when you're in love alone

I need U to come back home(U know I need U)
I don't wanna be alone

Girl I put your love up on the shelf
And I guess I just left it to die
And now we're not together
'Cause I hurt U too many times

And now you're not around
I wish for every moment of time that got wasted
We used it to make sweet love
Baby be my guide

Please take my hand
I want U to know that I got U if you need it
Don't wanna be on the outside looking in
I gotta have U girl can't U see it

Will U help me
Tell me what you want from me
Should U help me
Tell me why U wanna leave

Baby help me
'Cause Without U my whole world is falling apart
And without you I think I'll go crazy
Life's a prison when you're in love alone

I need U to come back home(U know I need U)
I don't wanna be alone

Please stay don't go
I don't want it to be over
Give me another chance
I wanna be your man
Girl U got me
Down here on my knees
Crying, beggin', pleadin'
I'll do anything for your love

Would U help me
Tell me what you want from me
Can U help me
Tell me why U wanna leave

Baby help me
Without U my whole world is falling apart
And without you girl I'm going crazy
Life's a prison without your love

Can u help me
Tell me why, why, why, why, why
Can u help me
Girl I'll never stop

Girl your all I've got
Can u help me
Help me understand
I can be your man

It's driving me crazy
Oh girl I love ya
You know I need ya
Can't live without ya

Oh girl I love ya
You know I need ya
Can't live without ya
Oh girl I love ya

You know I need ya
Can't live without ya
Oh girl I love ya
You know I need ya

Can't live without ya
You know I need ya

    General Comment:this song is just beautiful. it'z amazing how a lot of usher songs relates to my previous relationship. started off with u remind me, u got it bad, u don't have to call, and now can u help me. i love his songs, but everytime i hear them, i'm constantly reminded of the horrible break up i went through.
