'I Had Some Help' song lyrics

You got a lotta nerve, don't you, baby?

I only hit the curb 'cause you made me

You're tellin' all your friends that I'm crazy

Like I'm the only one

Why'd you throw them stones if you

Had a wild hair of your own or two?

Livin' in your big glass house with a view

I thought you knew

I had some help

It ain't like I can make this kinda mess all by myself

Don't act like you ain't help me pull that bottle off the shelf

Been deep in every weekend if you couldn't tell

They say, "Teamwork makes the dream work," hell, I had some help

You thought I'd take the blame for us a-crumbling

Go 'round like you ain't guilty of somethin'

Already lost the game that you been runnin'

Guess it's catchin' up to you, huh

You think that you're so innocent

After all the s--- you did

I ain't an angel, you ain't heaven-sent

Can't wash our hands of this

I had some help

It ain't like I can make this kinda mess all by myself

Don't act like you ain't help me pull that bottle off the shelf

Been deep in every weekend if you couldn't tell

They say, "Teamwork makes the dream work," hell, I had some help

It takes two to break a heart in two, ooh

Baby, you blame me and, baby, I blame you

Aw, if that ain't the truth

I had some help

It ain't like I can make this kinda mess all by myself

Don't act like you ain't help me pull that bottle off the shelf

Been deep in every weekend if you couldn't tell

They say, "Teamwork makes the dream work," hell, I had some help
