Lyrics:

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
