Why Did You Pick Me up When I Was Down

Some of these days you're gonna feel so sad

And you will miss me too

Some of these days you're gonna want me back

And I won't return to you

Some of these days you're gonna feel so bad

And heartbroken, too

Old memories are going to haunt you, dear

Then these questions I'll ask you:

Why did you pick me up when I was down?

Why didn't you let me lay?

You knew that I was young, an easy fool

And thought your love for me would stay

My poor heart is almost breaking

And all my loving you are taking

You know you fooled me, tried to misuse me

Why did you treat me that way?

You took me out into the world then left me all alone

And for each wrong, you'll pay

You're the only man that I adore

So listen while I say

You made me love you better than I love myself

And now you've gone and got somebody else

Why did you pick me up when I was down

Why didn't you let me lay?

Why did you pick me up when I was down?

Why didn't you let me lay?

You knew that I was young, an easy fool

And thought your love for me would stay

My poor heart is almost breaking

And all my loving you are taking

You know you fooled me, tried to misuse me

Why did you treat me that way?

You took me out into the world then left me all alone

And for each wrong, you'll pay

You're the only man that I adore

So listen while I say

You made me love you better than I love myself

And now you've gone and got somebody else

Why did you pick me up when I was down

Why didn't you let me lay?
