Helen - Marty Robbins

It was easy to pick me up, easy to put me down

It was easy to give you all the love I had

And it was easy for you to make me think

I had made the grass turn green

'Cause the little love you gave me

Was more than I had seen

Helen, it hurts when I try to be strong

When most of the reasons for livin' are gone

Well you got me where you want me, a lonely cryin' clown

And you’ve almost got the best of me

And you’ve almost got me down

Well, it seems the givers always get taken just for fools

'Cause takers know that livers, lie by all the rules

While lovers do the livin' and the livin' do their best

And the takers take it all the time and the givers get the rest

Helen, it hurts when I try to be strong

When most of the reasons for livin' are gone

Well you got me where you want me, a lonely cryin' clown

And you’ve almost got the best of me

And you’ve almost got me down

And you’ve almost got the best of me

And you’ve almost got me down
