Rag Doll

Menelaus:
O Betrayer, white-masked witch
Lips so red and soul so pitch
Dog of Hades, hell hound bitch
Helen, how could you do this?
You to whom I yield my heart
You who hold my breath in check
Had you planned right from the start
To cheat me for your lover?

Helen:
Rag doll, rag doll
Coveted, hated and died for by all
Rag doll, rag doll
Tear me apart like the children you are

Paris:
Helen, leave those maudlin sighs
Girl, don�t think you can deny
No one loves you, all despise
Helen of the lovely eyes
Oh, don�t worry---you�ve got me
I don�t hate you though they do
One in deep unfriendly seas
Only me to love you

Helen:
Rag doll, rag doll
Coveted, hated and died for by all
Rag doll, rag doll
Tear me apart like the children you are
I can�t go back and I can�t carry on
Play with me, use me; I�m only your pawn

Paris and Menelaus:
If you love me, stay with me

(Helen: I can swear my love is true)

Prove you have fidelity

(Helen: Though I�m riven into two)

Open up your eyes and see

(Helen: Please don�t force me yet to choose)

This is either him or me.

(Helen: Or I might choose none of you.)
