From:
Once my love was good enough
True happiness we knew
Then fame and fortune came your way
And made a change in you
YouŽll find your ladder of success
Is not on solid ground
And when it starts to tumble
Pick me up on your way down
[Chorus:]
Pick me up when dreams are shattered
When false friends cannot be found
For you know iŽll still be waiting
Pick me up on your way down
YouŽve hit the top, but it wonŽt last
ThereŽs just one way to go
The world youŽve chosen is not real
These things youŽll come to know
When folks say they donŽt know you
And youŽve lost your final round
When you find that you are lonely
Pick me up on your way down
[Repeat chorus]
