Текст песни Before I Fall - David Harley

I know I can be clumsy
I'm hamfisted as they come
I'm blessed with two left feet
And my fingers are all thumbs
But I can tie my own bootlaces
I can use a knife and fork
I get there in my own time
And if I can't run I'll walk

I don't need a nanny or a minder and if I can't cope, I'll call
But please don't pick me up
Please don't pick me up
Please don't pick me up
Before I fall

I know I tend to stammer
And my tongue gets tied in knots
I get confused and nervous
Tripping over my own thoughts
But I'll make up my own mind
If I'm wrong I'll take the blame
And I can finish my own sentences
Thank you all the same

I don't need an interpreter and if I ever do, I'll call
Only please don't pick me up before I fall

I'm defensive and I'm obstinate
When things I say and do
Turn out upside down and in reverse
I may get mad at you
As well as me, but I'm sorry
And I hope you understand
I appreciate your putting up
With me the way I am

I'm trying to do better, for you, most of all
Only please don't pick me up before I fall
