Helena, don't walk away
|
Before you give me back my heart
|
If it were mine, it would be yours to take
|
I'm sorry I've let down my guard, oh Helena
|
|
You looked so sweet
|
I should have seen
|
While I was playing for fun
|
You were playing for keeps
|
|
You win, I lose, is there some way
|
You can leave me in your debt
|
So my girl and I can live to die another day
|
On that day I won't forget you, Helena
|
|
You look so sweet waiting for me
|
While I wait for her to give me any reason to leave
|
Don't waste your pretty sympathy
|
She's gonna be just fine
|
|
And Helena, so will we
|
So will everything in time, mmm
|
|
Helena, don't walk away
|
Did you hear one word I said
|
Oh well, I never really liked us anyway
|
And I forgot her, I'll forget you, Helena
|
|
You're not that sweet
|
And neither is she
|
Go ahead and tell her anything you want
|
Cause Helena, guys like me never sleep alone at night
|
I don't need your sympathy
|
Cause I'll always be just fine
|
|
Yeah, I'll always be just fine
|
Yeah, I'll always be just fine
|
La la la, la la la, la la la
|
|
