you ask if he is here with me
i guess u think i'm fakin'
he's in the kitchen i believe
and there's no tellin' what he's makin

i had missed two weeks of work
he came over to see what he could do
oh and that's why he is here
trying to get rid of my fever
he's helping me get over the flu

chorus
helping me get over the flu
one day at a time
he can make good tasting soup
he brings me niquil by the pint
getting past the aches and coughs
he doubted i could on my own
i did all that i could do
he's just a friend who's
helping me get over the flu

no he's not sleeping in my bed
in your mind i know you wonder
he's just trying to keep me fed
he makes sure i have enough cover
i'm feeling better than before
and it's no thanks to you
and no it is not a sin
for now he's just a friend
helping me get over the flu

chorus
helping me get over the flu
one dose at a time
doing things that i can't do
cleaning up this house of mine
when my fever spikes & i get chills
he brings me juice and a few pills
he's doing all that he can do
keeping me from being blue &
helping me get over the flu

he said its the least he could do
and by the way mom, where are you?
he's helping me get over the flu
