There's shelter in misery Everyone feels just like me It's too heavy to lift myself So put me up back on the shelf Your eyes are wild tonight Three in the morning, New York City time And twenty-four hours later, we're still feelin' fine Now every night and every day, now I'm falling apart I'm rippin' apart Don't rip me, don't rip me up Don't tear me, don't tear me down I got nothing to hold me together no more So tonight just let me curl up on the floor My money has all been spent Kicked out over three months rent now I dreamed one day I'd meet the President Now every night and every day, now I'm falling apart I'm rippin' apart Don't rip me, don't rip me up, baby Don't tear me, don't tear me down I got nothing to hold me together no more So tonight just let me curl up on the floor I said don't rip me, don't rip me up, baby Don't tear me, don't ya tear me down, honey I got nothing to hold me together I got nothing to hold me together, together Now, don't rip me up Don't tear me down 'Cause I got nothin' to hold me together I got nothing I got nothing I got nothing I got nothing I got nothing I got nothing I got nothing I got nothing I got nothing
