Pick Up the Pieces Songtext
von Johnnie Taylor

Hey, girl we′re drifting apart
We keep breaking each other's heart
Tell me how long can this go on?
Before all the good love we have is gone

Will you help me pick up the pieces?
Will you help me pick up the pieces?
And start all over
And start all over

We keep acting like little children
Playing a game that just ain′t fair
Stepping on
Stepping on
Stepping on each other's feelings
Deep down inside we both know we care

Help me pick up the pieces?
I can't do it by myself baby
Help me pick up the pieces?
Start all over
Start all over


I know that we can make it
We can go all the way
Breaking up our love affair
Is too high a price to pay

Pick up the pieces
Pick up the pieces
Why don′t we start all over?
Start all over

Can you help me baby?
Can you help me?
Can you help me pick up the pieces?
I need your help baby
Just like I needed when I started honey
Oh, can I make you pick up the pieces
Oh, I find myself all alone without you baby
And I need you
I need you to help me
I need you to help me
Come on and pick up the pieces baby
Baby can you pick them up


I don′t know but I just don't believe
I can do it by myself honey
I need all the strength
That you can give to me baby
I need you to help me, to help me
To help me pick up the pieces

Because I know
If I try to pick them up myself honey
I may stumble and fall by the wayside
But if you′re with me honey
I know that all I have to do is
Bend down and I can pick up the pieces
If you let me pick them up baby

I know everything will be alright honey
Help me pick up the pieces
I need you right now honey
I need you to help me
I need you to help me
I need you to help me pick them up
Cause if we pick them up
Then everything will be alright.
