I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down - Elvis Costello, The Attractions

I’m the living result

I’m 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
