When everything is going wrong
And things are just a little strange
It's been so long now
You've forgotten how to smile
And overhead the skies are clear
But it still seems to rain on you,
And your only friend all have
Better things to do

[CHORUS:]

When you're down and lost
And you need a helping hand
When you're down and lost
Along the way
Oh, just tell yourself
Ah, I'll be OK

Now things are only getting worse
And you need someone to take the blame
When your lovers gone
There's no-one to share the pain
You're sleeping with the TV on
And your lying in an empty bed
All the alcohol in the world
Could never help me to forget

[CHORUS:]

When you're down and lost
And you need a helping hand
When you're down and lost
Along the way,
Just try a little harder
Try your best to make it
Through the day,
Oh just tell yourself
Ah, I'll be OK

You're not alone (you're not alone)
You're not alone (you're not alone)
You're not alone

Just tell yourself
Ah, I'll be OK
Oh, just tell yourself
Ah, I'll be OK
Won't you tell yourself
Ahh

[CHORUS:]

When you're down and lost
And you need a helping hand
When you're down and lost
Along the way,
Try a little harder
Try your best to make it
Through the day

Oh, just tell yourself
Ah, I'll be OK
Ah, I'll be OK
Ah, I'll be OK
