Somebody Pick Up My Pieces Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

Somebody pick up my pieces
I′m scattered everywhere
Help me put myself back together
Put me somewhere way over there
I wanna be taken out of contention
I surrender my crown
Somebody pick up my pieces
I think I'm comin′ down

Well, I sure thought I had it
But, Lord, it looks like it had me
'Cause the thing I thought was heaven
Was just falling debris
I may not be crazy
But I sure got a hell of a start
Somebody come here and pick up my pieces
I think I'm fallin′ apart


But don′t follow my footsteps
Step on over my trail
'Cause the road is too darn narrow
Your footin′ could fail
And the fall to the bottom
It could tear you all apart
And they'll be here pickin′ up pieces
Of you and your heart

Don't you follow my footsteps
Step right on over my trail
′Cause the road is too darn narrow
And your footin' could fail
And the fall to the bottom
It could tear you apart
You'll be right back here pickin′ up pieces
Of you and your heart
Will be here pickin′ up pieces of you
Of you and your heart
