Intro

Verse 1

 With the money from her accident

 She bought herself a mobile home

 So at least she could get some enjoyment

 out of living alone

 No one could say she was left upon the shelf

 Its you and me against the world she mumble to herself

Chorus

 When the world falls apart somethings stay in place

Levis Stubbs tears roll down his face

Verse 2

 She ran away from home in her mother's best coat

 She was married before she was even entitled to vote

 And her husband was one of those blokes

 The sort who only laughs at his own jokes

 The sort that a war takes away

 And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway

Chorus

 omit )

Bridge

Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong

 Are here to make right everything that's wrong

Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too

 Are here to make it okay with you

Verse 3

One dark night he came home from the sea

 And put a hole in her body, where no hole should be

 It hurt her more to see him walking out the door

 And though they stiched her back together they left her heart in

 pieces on the floor

 When the world falls apart somethings stay in place

 She takes off the Four Tops tape

and puts it back in its case

 When the world falls apart somethings stay in place

Levis Stubbs tears

 Fade on
