Pick Up the Pieces Lyrics


dada daa-da da-daa
dada daa-da da-da-daaShe says her hearts been broken,
too many times
so now she keeps her guard up
she's got to play tough
i tell her to let me in
she hesitates, she's afraid
she says the last time she's been there
is soso heartache, yeaand everytime she gives her heart
all she gets back is broken pieces
everytime she opens up
all she gets back is disappointment
we've got to pick up the pieces, pick up the pieces yea, oh
we've got to pick up the pieces, pick up the pieces yea, mmcause every broken heart(oooh)
can be mended
and every sad situation (oooh-oooh)
we all get hurt in
we've got to pick up the pieces, pick up the pieces yea,

we've got to pick up the pieces, pick up the pieces yea, yeadada daa-da da-daa(pick them up)
dada daa-da da-da-daa(pick them up)i said my hearts been broken
so i know, how it feels
its just like a raw deal, where you've been cut short,yea
see there is nothing like real love,
and for that you have to chance
its above all costs
its priceless
so pricelessand every time you give your heart,
all you get back is broken pieces
and every time you open up
all you get back is disappointmentwe've got to pick up the pieces, pick up the pieces yea,
we've got to pick up the pieces, pick up the pieces yea,mmcause every broken heart
can be mended
and every sad situation
we all get hurt in
we've got to pick up the pieces, pick up the pieces yea,oh
we've got to pick up the pieces, pick up the pieces yea, yeacause every broken heart
can be mended
and every sad situation
we all get hurt in
we've got to pick up the pieces, pick up the pieces yea,
we've got to pick up the pieces, pick up the pieces yea, yea

Tarrus Riley born Omar Riley in Bronx, New York, is a promising reggae singer and songwriter. His early years were spent in music studios and traveling the world with his dad. He picked up something special along the way. He is a songwriter of uncommon intelligence, breadth with a deft touch. His emotional and spiritual IQ matches his heartfelt sincerity. As a singer, his vocal style is reassuring. It conveys his every mood, concern and context eloquently. His songwriting is bold, yet definitive, passionate and authentic, without being strident or overly militant. Except for the same surname, Tarrus, while clearly not possessing his famous father's voice with its sharp edge, is content musically to create his own legacy.
------------------------------------
Riley is the son of veteran singer Jimmy Riley and nurse Lavern Tatham-Riley. He was born in the Bronx and grew up in South Florida. He began his musical career as a deejay working with Busta Rhymes, taking his birth sign as his stage name at his mother's suggestion (the spelling later changed from Taurus to Tarrus), and recorded his first singles for his father's Love & Promotion label. He was guided in his early career by Dean Fraser, who also performs in his band and produces much of Riley's work.
Riley has released three albums, Challenges (2004), Parables (2006), and Contagious (2009). Contagious features guest appearances from Damian Marley, Vybz Kartel, Etana, Konshens, Demarco and Duane Stephenson. His commercial breakthrough came in 2006 with the Parables album and the Jamaican number one single "She's Royal".

Riley was awarded the Reggae Runnins Caribbean Heritage Award at the 2009 HOT 105 FM Caribbean-American Heritage Awards. He was nominated in the Best Reggae category of the 2009 MOBO Awards.
