  • (Nice guy)

    Oh, please help me, oh, please help me
    I'm livin' by myself
    I need someone to comfort me
    I need someone to tell

    I'm sorry for the things I've done
    I've shamed myself with lies
    But soon these things are overcome
    And can't be recognized

    I left my love with ribbons on
    And water in her eyes
    I took from her the love I'd won
    And turned it to the sky

    I'm sorry for the things I've done
    I've shamed myself with lies
    My cruelty has punctured me
    And now I'm runnin' dry

    I'm sorry for the things I've done
    I've shamed myself with lies
    But soon these things are overcome
    And can't be recognized

    I'm sorry for the things I've done
    I've shamed myself with lies
    But soon these things are overcome
    And can't be recognized Writer/s: Neil Young
