Levi Stubbs' Tears

[00:09.53] With the money from her accident
[00:11.95] She bought herself a mobile home
[00:16.80] So at least she could get some enjoyment out of being alone
[00:24.21] No one could say that she was left up on the shelf
[00:27.64] "It's you and me against the world, kid", she mumbled to herself
[00:38.90] When the world falls apart some things stay in place
[00:46.24] Levi stubbs' tears run down his face
[00:53.22] She ran away from home with her mother's best coat
[01:00.47] She was married before she was even entitled to vote
[01:07.91] And her husband was one of those blokes
[01:11.53] The sort that only laughs at his own jokes
[01:14.92] The sort that war takes away
[01:18.43] And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway
[01:29.41] When the world falls apart some things stay in place
[01:37.14] Levi stubbs' tears run down his face
[01:44.18] Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong
[01:47.00] Are here to make right everything that's wrong
[01:51.08] Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too
[01:54.08] Are here to make it all okay with you
[01:58.25] And one dark night he came home from the sea
[02:03.84] And put a hole in her body where no hole should be
[02:11.89] It hurt her more to see him walking out the door
[02:15.54] And though they stitched her back together
[02:17.21] They left her heart in pieces on the floor
[02:21.49] When the world falls apart some things stay in place
[02:29.46] She takes off the Four Tops tape and puts it back in its case
[02:36.43] And when the world falls apart some things stay in place
[02:43.52] Levi stubbs' tears
