Love Comes A‐Tumblin’ Down Songtext
von Cheap Trick

Tell you a story, not a little white lie
Wasn′t long tall Sally, it was no surprise
That's right, tell me that′s right
Tough act to follow, not too good in your shoes
A whole lotta shakin', it was terrible news
That night, tell me that's right

The band was singin′ and playin′ a tune
Love comes a-tumblin' down, oh yeah, yeah

All shook up and bent out of shape
Wasn′t Johnny B. Goode, but it sounded great
That night, tell me that's right
From the cabaret to the highway of hell
Had a monkey on his back, it was easy to tell
That′s right, tell me that's right

Band was singin′ and playin' a tune
Love comes a-tumblin' down, oh yeah, yeah

The band was singin′ and playin′ a tune
Love comes a-tumblin' down, oh yeah!


I′m wishing to live longer, aided by the supreme healing force of music
It most definitely overcomes all weakening aspects of the body
I've felt quite lost and distraught without those wonderful vinyl productions
I′m convinced it's an addiction too, I feel just great again
(Band, get ready)

When you see the train come, then you′ll know what to do
A tough act to follow, not too good in your shoes
That's right, tell me that's right
Love came a-stumblin′ and a-tumblin′ down
Not a pretty picture when the body was found
That night, tell me that's right

The band was singin′ and playin' a tune
(Love comes a-tumblin′)
A tough act to follow, not too good in your shoes
(Love comes a-tumblin')
You see the train come, you know just what to do
(Love comes a-tumblin′)
Johnny B. Goode, it sounded just great
(Love comes a-tumblin')


Long tall Sally it was no surprise
(Love comes a-tumblin')
A whole lotta shakin′, it was terrible news
(Love comes a-tumblin′)
Not a pretty picture when the body was found
(Love comes a tumblin')
(Mama-mama-mama-mama)
