Just a minute before you leavegirl
Just a minute before you touch the door.
What is it that you re trying to achievegirl?
Do you think we can talk about it some more?
You knowthe streets are filled with vipers
Who ve lost all ray of hope
You knowit ain t even safe no more
In the palace of the Pope.
Don t fall apart on me tonight
I just don t think that I could handle it.
Don t fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday s just a memory
Tomorrow is never what it s supposed to be
And I need youyeah.
Come over here from over theregirl
Sit down here. You can have my chair.
I can t see us goin anywheregirl.
The only place open is a thousand miles away and I can t take you there.
I wish I d have been a doctor
Maybe I d have saved some life that had been lost
Maybe I d have done some good in the world
Stead of burning every bridge I crossed.
Don t fall apart on me tonight
I just don t think that I could handle it.
Don t fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday s just a memory
Tomorrow is never what it s supposed to be
And I need youohyeah.
I ain t too good at conversationgirl
So you might not know exactly how I feel
But if I couldI d bring you to the mountaintopgirl
And build you a house made out of stainless steel.
But it s like I m stuck inside a painting
That s hanging in the Louvre
My throat start to tickle and my nose itches
But I know that I can t move.
Don t fall apart on me tonight
I just don t think that I could handle it.
Don t fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday s gone but the past lives on
Tomorrow s just one step beyond
And I need youohyeah.
Who are these people who are walking towards you?
Do you know them or will there be a fight?
With their humorless smiles so easy to see through
Can they tell you what s wrong from what s right?
Do you remember St. James Street
Where you blew Jackie P. s mind?
You were so fineClark Gable would have fell at your feet
And laid his life on the line.
Let s try to get beneath the surface wastegirl
No more booby traps and bombs
No more decadence and charm
No more affection that s misplacedgirl
No more mudcake creatures lying in your arms.
What about that millionaire with the drumsticks in his pants?
He looked so baffled and so bewildered
When he played and we didn t dance.
Don t fall apart on me tonight
I just don t think that I could handle it.
Don t fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday s just a memory
Tomorrow is never what it s supposed to be
And I need youyeah.
