Down To Zero
by:
Bettye Lavette
Oh the feeling
When you're reeling
You'r stepin' lightly thinking you're number one
Down to zero with a word
Leaving
For another one
Now you walkin with your feet
Back on the ground
Down to the ground
Down to the ground
Down to the ground
All the way Down to the ground
Brand new dandy
First class scene stealer
She strolls through the crowd and walks off with your man
Sends you rushing to the mirror
Brush back your hair and say
There's more beauty in you than anyone
Oh remember when I walked the warm sands beside you
Moored to your heel
Let the waves come a rushing in
She'll take the worry from your head
But then again and again
She'll put trouble in your heart instead
Then you'll fall
You'll gonna know heartache
Still more crying
When you're thinking bout your mama's only son
Take him to your bed
Then you'll find peace in sleepin'
But you'll dream of love instead
Oh the heartache you'll find
Can bring more pain than a blistering sun
But oh when you fall
Oh when you fall
You'll know heartache
Still more crying
When you're thinking bout your mama's only son
Take him to your bed
Think you'll find peace in sleepin'
But you'll dream nothin but love instead
Oh when you fall
Oh when you fall
