Oh the feeling
When you're reeling
You step lightly thinking you're number one
Down to zero with a word
Leaving
For another oneNow you walk with your feet back on the ground
Down to the ground
Down to the ground
Down to the ground
Down to the groundBrand new dandy
First class scene stealer
Walks through the crowd and takes your man
Sends you rushing to the mirror
Brush your eyebrows and say
There's more beauty in you than anyoneOh remember who walked the warm sands beside you
Moored to your heel let the waves come a rushing in
She'll take the worry from your head
But then again
She put trouble in your heart instead
Then you'll fall
Down to the ground
Down to the groundYou'll know heartache
Still more crying
When you're thinking of your mother's only son
Take to your bed
You say there's peace in sleep
But you'll dream of love insteadOh 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 doorOh the feeling
When you're reeling
You step lightly thinking you're number one
Down to zero with a word
Leaving
For another oneNow you walk with your feet back on the ground
Down to the ground
Down to the ground
Down to the ground
Down to the groundYou'll know heartache
Still more crying
When you're thinking of your mother's only son
Take to your bed
You say there's peace in sleep
But you'll dream of love insteadBut oh when you fall
Oh when you fall
Fall at my door
