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
