约翰·列侬1980年接受‘花花公子’杂志David Sheff的采访时说：“1965年推出《Help!》时，叫救命的人应当是我才对。人们大多认为这是一支快节奏的摇滚歌曲，当时我自己却不这么认为。这是我为电影写的任务歌曲。可后来，我还真要嚷嚷‘救命’了。因为电影中我演的是Elvis全盛时期的那段。他表演技能好，活性十足，发挥尽情。

　　歌词：

　　Help, I need somebody,

　　Help, not just anybody,

　　Help, you know I need someone, help.

　　When I was younger, so much younger than today,

　　I never needed anybody’s help in any way.

　　But now these days are gone, I’m not so self assured,

　　Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors.

　　Help me if you can, I’m feeling down

　　And I do appreciate you being round.

　　Help me, get my feet back on the ground,

　　Won’t you please, please help me.

　　And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,

　　My independence seems to vanish in the haze.

　　But every now and then I feel so insecure,

　　I know that I just need you like I’ve never done before.

　　Help me if you can, I’m feeling down

　　And I do appreciate you being round.

　　Help me, get my feet back on the ground,

　　Won’t you please, please help me.

　　When I was younger, so much younger than today,

　　I never needed anybody’s help in any way.

　　But now these daya are gone, I’m not so self assured,

　　Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors.

　　Help me if you can, I’m feeling down

　　And I do appreciate you being round.

　　Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
