Helpless by Manhattan Transfer

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

Background voices "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
Helpless....(to fade)
