There's shelter in misery

Everyone feels just like me

It's too heavy to lift myself

So put me up back on the shelf

Your eyes are wild tonight

Three in the morning New York City time

And twenty-four hours later

We're still feelin' fine

Now every night and every day, now

I'm falling apart, I'm rippin' apart



Don't rip me, don't rip me up

Don't tear me, don't tear me down

I got nothing to hold me together no more

So tonight just let me curl up on the floor



My money has all been spent

Kicked out over three months rent now

I dreamed one day I'd meet the President

Now every night and every day, now

I'm falling apart

I'm rippin' apart



Don't rip me, don't rip me up baby

Don't tear me, tear me down

I got nothing to hold me together no more

So tonight just let me curl up on the floor



Don't rip me, don't rip me up

Don't tear me, tear me down

I got nothing to hold me together no more

So tonight just let me curl up on the floor



Don't rip me, don't rip me up baby

Don't tear me, tear me down

I got nothing to hold me together

I got nothing to hold me together now



Don't rip me up

Don't tear me down
