I'm up each day
At the crack of dawn
Primed for the first inspection
He's running the home and the family
Like a military installation
(This can't be right)
(I feel so helpless)
I can't do this and I can't do that
I dare not make a move
Without his orders
No matter how well I do what I do
It's never good enough,
(not for him)
Helpless I feel so helpless
Helpless I don't like to be so helpless
I don't wish to feel in my own home
Some kind of prisoner
There must be a way to put a stop
To his violent behavior
Helpless I feel so helpless
Helpless I don't like to be so helpless
Somehow something's changed around the house
It suddenly seems so calm
How what are we supposed to do
With all of this new found freedom
Helpless I feel so helpless
Helpless I don't like to be so helpless
