Levi Stubbs' Tears

With the money from her accident She bought herself a mobile home So at least she could get some enjoyment out of being alone No one could say that she was left up on the shelf "It's you and me against the world, kid", she mumbled to herself When the world falls apart some things stay in place Levi stubbs' tears run down his face She ran away from home with 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 that only laughs at his own jokes The sort that war takes away And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway When the world falls apart some things stay in place Levi stubbs' tears run down his face 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 all okay with you And 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 stitched her back together They left her heart in pieces on the floor When the world falls apart some things stay in place She takes off the Four Tops tape and puts it back in its case And when the world falls apart some things stay in place Levi stubbs' tears
