[00:09.53]With the money from her accident
[00:11.95]She bought herself a mobile home
[00:16.80]So at least she could get some enjoyment out of being alone
[00:24.21]No one could say that she was left up on the shelf
[00:27.64]"It's you and me against the world, kid", she mumbled to herself
[00:38.90]When the world falls apart some things stay in place
[00:46.24]Levi stubbs' tears run down his face
[00:53.22]She ran away from home with her mother's best coat
[01:00.47]She was married before she was even entitled to vote
[01:07.91]And her husband was one of those blokes
[01:11.53]The sort that only laughs at his own jokes
[01:14.92]The sort that war takes away
[01:18.43]And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway
[01:29.41]When the world falls apart some things stay in place
[01:37.14]Levi stubbs' tears run down his face
[01:44.18]Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong
[01:47.00]Are here to make right everything that's wrong
[01:51.08]Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too
[01:54.08]Are here to make it all okay with you
[01:58.25]And one dark night he came home from the sea
[02:03.84]And put a hole in her body where no hole should be
[02:11.89]It hurt her more to see him walking out the door
[02:15.54]And though they stitched her back together
[02:17.21]They left her heart in pieces on the floor
[02:21.49]When the world falls apart some things stay in place
[02:29.46]She takes off the Four Tops tape and puts it back in its case
[02:36.43]And when the world falls apart some things stay in place
[02:43.52]Levi stubbs' tears
