Lyrics
You were mine for just awhile
Now you're putting on the style
And you never once looked back
To your home across the track
You're the gossip of the town
But my heart could still be found
Where you tossed it on the ground
Pick me up on your way down
Pick me up on your way down
When you're blue and all alone
When their glamour starts to bore you
Come on back where you belong
You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy
Then they'll take away your crown
Pick me up on your way down
They have changed your attitude
Made you haughty and so rude
Your new friends can take the blame
Underneath, you're still the same
When you learn these things are true
I'll be waiting here for you
When you tumble to the ground
Pick me up on your way down
Pick me up on your way down
When you're blue and all alone
When their glamour starts to bore you
Come on back where you belong
You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy
Then they'll take away your crown
Pick me up on your way down
