Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lady luck and four leaf clovers
Won't ease this hurt I feel all over
My life was one special occasion
'Til you leavin' left me this situation
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
I'm standin' on shaky ground, hey
Ever since you put me down, oh, oh, oh
Standin' on shaky ground, hey
Ever since you put me down, hey
[Verse 2]
My car got repossessed this morning, yeah
Harder times I haven't seen in years
Girl, you better throw me a life preserver, hey
'Cause I'm about to drown in my own tears
Ah, ah, wow
[Chorus]
I'm standin' on shaky ground, hey
Ever since you put me down, oh, oh, oh
Standin' on shaky ground
Ever since you put me down, Ooh
Ah, ah, ah
[Chorus]
Ah, ah, wow
Standing on shaky ground, yeah
Ever since you put me down
Ah, ah, ah
[Chorus]
Standing on shaky ground, yeah
Ever since you put me down, woo (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
[Chorus]
Standing on shaky ground, standing, hey
Standing on shaky ground, hey, hey (Ever since you put me down)
Standing, Standing
Standing on shaky ground, oh
[Outro]
I got to say, I got to say, I got to say
I'm standing on shaky ground, woo, woo
Ever since you put me down, ah, ah, oh
Standing on shaky ground, oh
Oh, ever since you put me down
