Bettye Lavette - Down to Zero lyrics

Oh the feeling When you're reeling You step lightly thinking you're number one Down to zero with a word leaving, for another one Now you won't put you're feet back on the ground Down to the ground down to the ground Down to the ground down to the ground Brand new dandy First cla** scene stealer Walks through the crowd and takes your man Sends you rushing to the mirror Brush your eyebrows and say "There's more beauty in you than anyone" Oh, remember who walked the warm sand beside you Moored to your heel let the waves come rushing in She took the worry from your head But then again She put trouble in your heart instead And you fall Down to the ground Down to the ground You'll know heartache Still more crying when you're thinking of your mother's only son Take to your bed You say there's peace in sleep But you dream of love instead Oh, the heartache you'll find Can bring more pain than a blistering sun But oh when you fall Oh when you fall Fall at my door Oh the feeling When you're reeling You step lightly thinking you're number one Down to zero with a word Leaving For another one Now you won't put you're feet back on the ground Down to the ground down to the ground Down to the ground down to the ground You'll know heartache Still more crying when you're thinking of your mother's only son Take to your bed You say there's peace in sleep But you dream of love instead But oh when you fall Oh when you fall Fall at my door
