Well, I meant to walk you home last night, but I just got side-tracked
I really had too many things upon my mind
So, you called and told me you were through
But Girl, I've got too many other things on my mind
Than to worry about what you think of me
'Cuz (Baby) when I fall down, I get right back up again
So, then you called another guy & told him it was over
Could he take you out for a drink or two
You said I was a lousy lover, 'cuz you were such a sexy thing
And I could never find the time for you
Can't you see, I'm busy with my job and my music
Other projects have priorities
(Baby) when I fall down, I get right back up again
I need love, but I need freedom
I can't be cramped with trivialities
I want fame, and I want fortune
I wanna know what you expect from me
So, (Baby) when I fall down, I get right back up again
I've got friends who will stand by me
Nobody ever said that you were mine
(Baby) if I fall down, I'll get right back up again
So, now I've got another woman who lets me do my thing
And she knows she could never be my only love
She laughs about the attitude that you once had
She can't imagine what you were thinking of
I told her right out straight, she couldn't tie me down
She said she never ever would
(Baby) when I fall down, I get right back up again
