Left Behind

LEFT BEHIND

Set ‘em up Joe, I’ll knock ‘em down

Yeah it’s been a while since I’ve been around

How you been, I heard your old lady split the scene

Yeah mine too it’s been about seven months now

I got a place down on the south side of town

Just trying to keep my head above water if you know what I mean

And I hear all these people talk about happiness

I never dreamed I’d settle for anything less

Now it seems it takes all I’ve got just to get through one day at a time

Thought the world would stop turning instead it just left me behind

Had this new girl that I’ve been seeing

But I knew she was just an in between and

I let her go cause I didn’t want to lead her on

No I ain’t hanging out too much these days

Can’t afford to with the money she takes

But the hardest part for me is getting used to being alone

I’d like to hear Cupid defend his position

‘Cause it’s his fault that I’m in this condition

He must have been on a one-man mission to break this heart of mine

Thought the world would stop turning instead it just left me behind

I’ve done my share of complaining

Asking God for a little explaining

But someday soon it’s gonna stop raining and the sun will shine

Nice to see you but I should be on my way

To catch that last cross-town bus before it’s too late

Cabs cost too much and it’s too far to walk

I have to leave for work at half past five

Killing myself to barely stay alive

But some day I’ll look back and laugh cause I’ll be all right

I’m gonna be like Dan Marino in a comeback game

Like Gene Kelly singing in the rain

Like a phoenix rising from the flames no you can’t keep a good man down

I’ll be like Mike Tyson biting off an ear

I may be beaten up but I’m still here

There’s no place left to go but up from here it’s all a state of mind

Somebody stop the world from turning before I get left behind
