Levi Stubbs' Tears |
| 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 in her mother’s best coat |
| She was married before she was even entitled to vote |
| And her husband is one of those blokes |
| The sort who only laughes at his own jokes |
| The sort a war takes away |
| And when there wasn’t a war, he left anyway |
| When the World falls apart some things stay in place |
| Levi Stubbs' tears run down his face |
| Norman Whitfild and Barratt Strong |
| Are here to make right everything that’s wrong |
| Holland and Holland and Lamont Dosier too |
| Are here to make it all okay with you |
| 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 |
| When the World falls apart some things stay in place |
| Levi Stubbs' tears… |
