Helen Lyrics - 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
