Lyrics
Lyrics are from the long version of HELPLESS.
Lie on the deck of this open yacht Watch the sky the Caribbean Sea is so hot Feeling the wind; I can smell the sea And I hear how the ocean is calling to me I never knew all the world had to show me I never let anyone know me - 'cause you know I was the girl with the strongest defenses Safe inside my world of pretenses Smile and you've taken me by surprise For a while I'm content just to look in your eyes But when you touch me it feels just like magic Makes my years almost tragic - oh baby I was alone but I never felt lonely My heart was reserved for you only Helpless When you touch me I'm powerless I need you so much baby I'm helpless

HELPLESS (Long Version)
I made this based on the Long Ver. from the soundtrack CD. On the soundtrack CD this song had a piano solo, but this time we tried with a gut guitar solo. A stylish gut guitar solo, right?
