I wait at the bus stop with my salty pout
I stand in this long line, no one will help me out
I'm standing alone again
I'm the last one picked
This bench is so warm here
I've been here quite awhile
I'm crying alone now
Say goodbye to my old smile

Help me Jesus
Help me 'cause I can't help myself
Love me, Jesus
Love me 'cause I can't love myself

They point their fingers all the time
Laugh loud when I sing a silly rhyme
Must I always be run, run, running
Never knowing when the rain is coming
The mud has splashed all over my new shoes
Yes I'm singing while I'm crying
I've got the blues

Help me Jesus
Help me 'cause I can't help myself
Love me, Jesus
Love me 'cause I can't love myself

I sit with a stranger en route to forty-nine
I would talk but I don't want to waste his time
I've had enough strangers come and go
And it all starts with hello
That's why I just say no

Help me Jesus
Help me 'cause I can't help myself
Love me, Jesus
Love me 'cause I can't love myself
