Songtexte I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

I′m the living result
Of a man who's been hurt a little too much
And I′ve tasted the bitterness of my own tears
Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel
I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down
Simple though love is still it confused me
Why I′m not loved the way I should be
Now I′ve lived with heartaches and I've roomed with fear
I′ve dealt with despair and I've wrestled with tears
I can′t stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down
The vow that we made
You broke it in two
But that don′t stop me
From loving you
I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down.
