PICK ME UP ON YOUR WAY DOWN

You were mine for just a while now you're puttin' on the style

And you've never once looked back to your home across the track

You're the gossip of the town but my heart can still be found

Where you tossed it on the ground pick me up on your way down

Pick me up on your way down when you're blue and all alone

When their glamour starts to bore you come on back where you belong

When you've learned these things are true I'll be waiting here for you

When you tumble to the ground pick me up on your way down

They have changed your attitude made you haughty and so rude

Your new friends can take the blame underneath you're still the same

You may be their pride and joy but they'll find another toy

When your new love can't be found pick me up on your way down

Pick me up on your way down...
