I went back to bed every morning,
with a big frown on my face.
And it er feels outta place.
And you're not probably working
At a nine to five pace.
I wonder how bad it tasted.

The truth be told I ran away,
And the truth be told I took a gander.

When you see my face
Hope it gives you help
Hope it gives you help
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you help
Hope it gives you help
If you go home, get in bed and die, I can not sell when you're looking.
Then I'm a g-nat, just as well.
Hope it gives you help.
Hope it gives you help.

Now I am your picket fence, Mabel.
And I am your dull jalopy.
And did it ever get you far? (No!)
You er seemed so tense love
I've er seen where you were
Do you know where you are? (No!)

The truth be told I ran away
And the truth be told I took a gander.

When you see my face
Hope it gives you help
Hope it gives you help
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you help
Hope it gives you help
If you find a girl who's worth her dad and treats ya well,
Then she's a g-nat you're just as well.
Hope it gives you help
Hope it gives you help

Today you won't be thinking to yourself,
"Where'd it all go wrong?" (Nowhere!)
But the list goes on and on

The truth be told I ran away
And the truth be told I took a gander.

When you see my face
Hope it gives you help
Hope it gives you help
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you help
Hope it gives you help
When you find a girl who's worth her dad and treats you well
Then she's a g-nat, you're just as well
Hope it gives you help

Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
You can't look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well

When you see my face
Hope it gives you help
Hope it gives you help
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you help
Hope it gives you help
When you find a girl who's worth her dad and treats you well
Then she's a g-nat, you're just as well
Hope it gives you help

When you see my face
Hope it gives you help
Hope it gives you help
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you help
Hope it gives you help
When you hear this song and run away but you won't sell
Then you're the g-nat, I'm just as well
Hope it gives you help

When you hear this song,
I sure hope it can give you help.

When you run away,
I hope it will put you through helping.
