Taking in consideration honey all that we've been through
A thousand gossip touted 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
You helped me up and stood by me everyway 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

You helped me up and stood by me everyway 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
You helped me up when the world let me down (that's right baby)
