*You might have been hurt, babe*
*That ain't no lie*
*You've seen them all come and go, oh*
*I remember you told me*
*That it made you believe in*
*No man, no cry*
*Maybe that's why*


Arnold looked at Helga. She looked so forlorn. He was surprised, that wasn't like Helga. She was usually the toughest person he knew. But something was wrong. He knew it. Helga looked up at Arnold with tears in her eyes. Arnold grasped her hand. "What is it?" he asked.
"Arnold, I need to change. There have been too many guys in my life, and something bad has always happened. I'm so sorry that I have to do this, but, well, I'm going to have to refuse your love. I don't want to cry anymore," she replied.

*Every little thing I do*
*never seems enough for you*
*You don't want to lose it again*
*But I'm not like them*
*Baby when you finally*
*Get to love somebody*
*Guess what*
*It's gonna be me*

"Helga, I would never hurt you. You know that!" Arnold tried to convince Helga. She shook her head.
"No, Arnold. I just can't. I hate to admit it, but I'm feeling more than a little vulnerable right now. Please, just leave me alone."
"But-"
"Arnold, please!" she cut him off.

*You've got no choice babe*
*But to move on you know*
*There ain't no time to waste, 'cause you're just*
*Too blind to see*
*But in the end you know it's gonna be me*
*You can't deny*
*So just tell me why*

"Helga, you have to get past this. If you just brush it under the rug, it will never go away. Please, try to see that I can be so good for you. Please, tell me why you just can't try it out. Please," Arnold said. Helga looked at him.

*There comes a day*
*When I'll be the one*
*You'll see*
*It's gonna...it's gonna be me*

"Arnold...maybe someday, but I just don't know if I'm ready yet." Helga got up, caressed Arnold's cheek a last time, and walked out of the door. Arnold sat on the couch, humming a familiar song.

*All that I do*
*Is not enough for you*
*You don't want to lose it*
*But I'm not like that*
*When finally you get to love*
*Guess what, guess what*
