|
With the money from her accident |
|
She bought herself a mobile home |
|
So at least she could get some enjoyment out of being alone |
|
No one could say that she was left up on the shelf |
|
"It's you and me against the world, kid", she mumbled to herself |
|
When the world falls apart some things stay in place |
|
Levi stubbs' tears run down his face |
|
She ran away from home with her mother's best coat |
|
She was married before she was even entitled to vote |
|
And her husband was one of those blokes |
|
The sort that only laughs at his own jokes |
|
The sort that war takes away |
|
And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway |
|
When the world falls apart some things stay in place |
|
Levi stubbs' tears run down his face |
|
Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong |
|
Are here to make right everything that's wrong |
|
Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too |
|
Are here to make it all okay with you |
|
And one dark night he came home from the sea |
|
And put a hole in her body where no hole should be |
|
It hurt her more to see him walking out the door |
|
And though they stitched her back together |
|
They left her heart in pieces on the floor |
|
When the world falls apart some things stay in place |
|
She takes off the Four Tops tape and puts it back in its case |
|
And when the world falls apart some things stay in place |
|
Levi stubbs' tears |
