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,
is it worth the pain to see the children cry?
Does it hurt when they ask for daddy?
Hey, hey Helen,
now you live on your own.
Hey, hey Helen,
can you make it alone?
(Yes you can)
So you’re free at last,
and beginning to forget the past.
Does it make you sad
when you think about the life you ha-ha-had?
But you’re right: you had to take a second chance.
So you fight to find your freedom.
Hey, hey Helen,
now you live on your own.
Hey, hey Helen,
can you make it alone?
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?
(Yes you do)
(Ahah, yes you do, yes you do)
(Ahah, yes you do, yes you do)
Hey, hey Helen,
now you live on your own.
Hey, hey Helen,
can you make it alone?
(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?
(Hey, hey Helen. Hey, hey Helen.)
Now you live on your own.
(Hey, hey Helen. Hey, hey Helen.)
