Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So at last you're free
It's the way you wanted it to be
And the price you paid
To become a woman of today
[Verse 2]
Is it worth
The pain to see the children cry?
Does it hurt
When they ask for Daddy?
[Verse 3]
Hey, hey, Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey, hey, Helen
Can you make it alone? (Yes, you can)
[Verse 4]
So you're free at last (Lucky woman)
And beginning to forget the past (Lucky woman)
Does it make you sad (Being lonely)
When you think about the life you had?
[Verse 5]
But you're right
You had to take a second chance
So you fight
To find your freedom
[Verse 6]
Hey, hey, Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey, hey, Helen
Can you make it alone?
[Verse 7]
Hey, hey, Helen
(Hey, hey, Helen) What's the matter with you?
Hey, hey, Helen
(Hey, hey, Helen) Don't you know what to do?
[Verse 8]
Yes, you do
Yes, you do, yes, you do
Yes, you do, yes, you do
[Verse 9]
Hey, hey, Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey, hey, Helen
Can you make it alone?
[Verse 10]
Hey, hey, Helen
(Hey, hey, Helen) What's the matter with you?
Hey, hey, Helen
(Hey, hey, Helen) Don't you know what to do?
[Verse 11]
Hey, hey, Helen
(Hey, hey, Helen) Now you live on your own
Hey, hey, Helen
(Hey, hey, Helen) Can you make it alone?
