You can be cool with anyone
|
You can be cool with any kind of fool
|
You can be a fool with someone you meet on the subway
|
You can be cool enough
|
You can be cool it could be easy to be nice to those you don't even know
|
But can you.....
|
Can you help the one you love
|
|
It's easy to put our money in a beggar's hat
|
It's easier to write a check and that is that
|
It's easier to walk by, or even shed a tear
|
But can you help, the one, the one you really love?
|
Can you help the one you really love?
|
|
It's easy to be brave
|
It's easy to be angry
|
It's easy to fade
|
When there's no one in your home
|
|
When you get up you feel good
|
You take your vitamin pills
|
You eat your shredded wheat
|
And you read about the kills
|
|
When you wash your hands of the world
|
Think about some girl
|
And you wonder like you always have
|
Can you help, can you help, can you help the one you really love?
|
|
It's easy to be grave
|
It's easy to be right, when know one knows the details of your life
|
It' easy to be upright
|
When know one knows the truth, that lies behind the pages
|
And what you write in your newspaper
|
When you condemn
|
When you judge
|
When you sneer
|
And you call.....when you call out for a revolution
|
Or you call out for a bloodbath or a witch hunt
|
But I ask this you now, can you help the one you really love?
|
Can you help the one
|
Can you help the one
|
Can you help the one
|
You really love
|

Can You Help The One You Really Love?
