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
