Don t Fall Apart On Me Tonight lyrics

Just a minute before you leave girl
Just a minute before you touch the door
What is it that you re trying to achieve, girl ?
Do you think we can talk about it some more ?
You know, the streets are filled with vipers
Who ve lost all ray of hope
You know, it 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 you, yeah.

Come over here from over there, girl
Sit down here, you can have my chair
I can t see us going anywhere, girl
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 you, yeah.

I ain t too good at conversation, girl
So you might not know exactly how I feel
But if I could, I d bring bring you to the mountaintop, girl
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 you, yeah.

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 fine, Clark Gable would have fell at your feet
And laid his life on the line.

Let s try to get beneath the surface waste, girl
No more booby traps and bombs
No more decadence and charm
No more affection that s misplaced, girl
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 you, yeah.
