(H. Banks & A. Jones)
I'm the living result
I'm a man who's been hurt a little too much

And I've tasted the bitterness of my own tears
Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel


I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down


Simple though love is
Still it confused me
Why I'm not loved the way I should be

Now I've lived with heartaches
And I've roomed with fear
I've dealt with despair

And I've wrestled with tears

I can't stand up for falling down

I can't stand up for falling down

The vow that we made

You broke it in two
But that don't stop me from loving you


I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down
