Lyrics Pieces Of A Man - David Ruffin

Pieces Of A Man

Pieces, pieces of a man, now
Oh, that’s all that’s left, girl, that’s all I am
With that invisible knife
You cut me clean in two
I was shocked when you
When you said that we were through
What did I do wrong, baby yeah, ooh
I can feel my heart coming down and fall
Just like Humpty Dumpty, off the wall
You left me in the shadows of yesterday
I’m a man that used to be
Oh, now I’m left, now I’m left, now I’m left with
Pieces, pieces of a man, now
Removed from reality
Stripped, stripped of my sanity
I was struck right down
By the cold heart, look, you were
Just lik a broken glass
Scattered all ovr the floor
To be useful no more
Say it again, y’all
We made such beautiful future plans
Fate moved in with a ugly hand and crushed them
Oh, and there I stood
Robbed of my manlihood
Now, now I’m left, now I’m left, now I’m left with pieces
Oh, baby
When you said you loved me
Were you acting out of place?
Were they someone else’s lines
That you thought you had to say?
Pieces of a man, now
Scattered through the wind like dust
No one to believe in now
Ah, no one to deceive me now
I have no one to trust, baby
Oh, like a jigsaw puzzle with one lost part
I’m left without a heart
The one who worshipped me
Oh, destroyed me
Oh, how could that be, baby, baby, baby
Now I’m left with pieces
Pieces of a man, now
Removed from reality
Stripped of my sanity
Now I’m left with pieces
Pieces of a man, now
No one to believe in, now
No one to deceive me, now
Now I’m left with pieces
Pieces of a man, now
Left with no one to…
