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
