Lyrics: I Can’t Stand Up For
Album: Very Best Of-1977-86
Artist: Elvis Costello
 

I’m the living result
I’m a man who’s been hurt a little too much
And i’ve tasted the bitterness of my own tears
Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel

I can’t stand up for falling down
I can’t stand up for falling down

Simple though love is
Still it confused me
Why i’m not loved the way i should be
Now i’ve lived with heartaches
And i’ve roomed with fear
I’ve dealt with despair
And i’ve wrestled with tears

I can’t stand up for falling down
I can’t stand up for falling down

The vow that we made
You broke it in two
But that don’t stop me from loving you

I can’t stand up for falling down
I can’t stand up for falling down
