hey helen, how are you hey helen, what's your name i see you outside sometimes smoking cigarettes i wish you'd come over; i wish i'd see you more often hey helen, can i bum a cigarette i like your nose piercing; did i tell you that yet you've got beautiful eyes though i'm too scared to look at them and there're chips in your nail-polish no, you're not perfect, but you're still smiling hey helen, how are you hey helen, what's your name hey helen, how are you hey helen, won't you please tell me your name

lyrics
remember the night, when we were alone you squeezed my hand so hard you felt my bones and you drug me into the basement we had a few beers, we shed a few tears we watched some movies and i played with you hair so long and blonde, though it's a different length and a different color now we fell asleep, you next to me i put my arm around you just to be closer but when we woke up we both knew that it was over i waited a week, for you to call me you finally did, and you said you're sorry and we made up with a hug and a kiss and a few things i'm sure you don't miss and you took me up to your bedroom 'just to talk' well, what is it, just say it, but you said it's something i have to show you

lyrics
we danced in your bedroom to a slow song we swayed back and forth with each other you had your fourth glass of wine; i had already finished mine you spilled some on my shirt, but i didn't mind you wrapped your hands around my neck mine pulled you close around your waist you didn't have pants on, but that was alright because i didn't either you rested your head on my chest, and i kissed the top of it no, we shouldn't be doing this we shouldn't be doing this we shouldn't be doing this again

lyrics
stopped for gas; you got out and paid i got out too, but i started walking away you didn't stop me; you didn't notice me leaving when i looked back at the frames of your glasses you were looking down, down, down are you as nervous as i am because you have a boyfriend, and i have a girlfriend i'll never know; we stayed quiet on the ride home but when we said goodbye, oh, i wished you didn't let go goodbye for now; hope you aren't late getting back to your house there's something about you; there's something about you there's something about you; there's nothing about me oh, i wish i'd hear from you in the morning

why are you crying i can tell you're trying to make it look like you're not you wipe the tears like you're just fixing your makeup why are you crying you've got no reason to be you've got a pretty black dress on and a pretty black pair of boots well, i'm always wearing black i would love it if you would dress up in me too you're still crying i wish i knew what to say say something, say something already oh, it doesn't matter anyway i watched as you got up to leave i didn't stop you it's a memory that's been haunting me hey helen, how are you hey helen, what's your name hey helen, how are you hey helen, will things ever be the same
