|
Once my love was good enough |
|
True happiness we knew |
|
Then fame and fortune came your way |
|
And made a change in you |
|
You'll find your ladder of success |
|
Is not on solid ground |
|
And when it starts to tumble |
|
Pick me up on your way down |
|
Chorus: |
|
Pick me up when dreams are shattered |
|
When false friends cannot be found |
|
For you know I'll still be waiting |
|
Pick me up on your way down |
|
Instrumental |
|
You've hit the top, but it won't last |
|
There's just one way to go |
|
The world you've chosen is not real |
|
These things you'll come to know |
|
When folks say they don't know you |
|
And you've lost your final round |
|
When you find that you are lonely |
|
Pick me up on your way down |
|
Chorus: |
|
Pick me up when dreams are shattered |
|
When false friends cannot be found |
|
For you know I'll still be waiting |
|
Pick me up on your way down... |
