CHORUS:



She picked on me

When I was lonely

She picked on me

When I was down

She picked on me

It wasn't easy

To pull me up

And to bring me around

She picked on me

When I was lonely

She kicked me when I was down

she picked on me

Cause is was plain to see

Always in trouble

My life was a circus

And I was a clown



I was making a life

Out of singing the blues

And I was learning to choose

Which way to lose

Sometimes it felt like I was ready to fly

Taking off for the sky

But didn't know how to try

Somebody please turn on the lights

Well that's what you did

By shaking me left and right



(CHORUS)



I was searching the fire

But couldn't hold on to the truth

Wanted to go up in style

Holding on to my cowboy boots

There was no way up

and there was no way

I was coming down

Still I was going for the final count

I was going out first round

somebody please, please

You gotta make me right

You weren't easy to find

But there was you, you, you, you

Down the line



(CHORUS)



Somebody get on my side

Cause it ain't easy to hide

Somebody get over here

Anytime, anywhere

Stay close and never go away



(CHORUS)



She picked on me

When I was lonely

She picked on me

When I was down

She picked on me

It wasn't easy

To pull me up

And to bring me around

She picked on me

When I was lonely

Kicked me when I was down

She picked on me

Cause it was plain to see

Always in trouble

My life was a circus

And I was a clown
