Marty Robbins - Helen lyrics

rate me

It was easy to pick me up, easy to put me down<br />

It was easy to give you all the love I had<br />

And it was easy for you to make me think<br />

I had made the grass turn green<br />

'Cause the little love you gave me<br />

Was more than I had seen<br />

<br />

Helen, it hurts when I try to be strong<br />

When most of the reasons for livin' are gone<br />

Well you got me where you want me, a lonely cryin' clown<br />

And you've almost got the best of me<br />

And you've almost got me down<br />

<br />

Well, it seems the givers always get taken just for fools<br />

'Cause takers know that livers, lie by all the rules<br />

While lovers do the livin' and the livin' do their best<br />

And the takers take it all the time and the givers get the rest<br />

<br />

Helen, it hurts when I try to be strong<br />

When most of the reasons for livin' are gone<br />

Well you got me where you want me, a lonely cryin' clown<br />

And you've almost got the best of me<br />

And you've almost got me down<br />

And you've almost got the best of me<br />

And you've almost got me down
