Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, the feeling when you're reelin'

You step lightly thinkin' you're number one

Down to zero with a word leavin'

For another one

[Verse 2]

Now you walk with your feet back on the ground

Down to the ground, down to the ground

Down to the ground, down to the ground

[Verse 3]

Brand new dandy

First class scene stealer

Walks through the crowd and takes your man

Sends you rushin' to the mirror

Brush your eyebrows and say

There's more beauty in you than anyone

[Verse 4]

Oh, remember who walked the warm sand beside you

Moored to your heel

Let the waves come rushin' in

Shook the worry from your head

But then again

She put trouble in your heart instead

Then you fall

Down to the ground, down to the ground

[Verse 5]

You'll know heartache

Still more cryin' when you're thinkin' of your mother's only son

Take to your bed

You say there's peace in sleep

But you dream of love instead

[Verse 6]

Oh, the heartache you'll find

Can bring more pain than a blistering sun

But, oh, when you fall

Oh, when you fall

Fall at my door

[Verse 7]

Oh, the feeling when you're reelin'

You step lightly thinkin' you're number one

Down to zero with a word leavin'

For another one

[Verse 8]

Now you walk with your feet back on the ground

Down to the ground, down to the ground

Down to the ground, down to the ground

[Verse 9]

You'll know heartache

Still more cryin' when you're thinkin' of your mother's only son

Took to your bed

You say there's peace in sleep

But you dream of love instead

[Verse 10]

But, oh, when you fall

Oh, when you fall

Fall at my door
