You Helped Me Up:Jerry Lee Lewis. Album - Touching Home - on MERCURY Records in 1971. INTRO: #1. Taking in consideration honey all that we’ve been through. A thousand gossip coated tongues can’t stop my loving you. You broke the chains of misery that had me tightly bound. Yes you helped me up when the world let me down. CHORUS: You helped me up and stood by me every way our luck was down. My party friends from the party days no longer were around. You saw in me a quality that no one else has found. Yes you helped me up when the world let me down. INTERLUDE: CHORUS: You helped me up and stood by me every way our luck was down. Through your eyes you saw a king and the world saw only a clown (yes they did) My problems all were solved the day your sweet love Jerry found. Yes you helped me up when the world let me down. OUTRO: You helped me up when the world let me down. A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
