Once my love was good enough, true happiness we knew

Then fame and fortune came your way and made a change in you

You’ll find your ladder of success is not on solid ground

And when it starts to tumble, pick me up on your way down

Pick me up when dreams are shattered, when your friends cannot be found

For you know I’ll still be waiting, pick me up on your way down

You’ve hit the top but it won’t last, there’s just one way to go

The world you’ve chosen is not real, these things you’ll come to know

When folks say they don’t know you, and you’ve lost your final round,

When you find that you are lonely, pick me up on your way down

Pick me up when dreams are shattered, when your friends cannot be found,

For you know I’ll still be waiting, pick me up on your way down
