Never been this blue Never knew the meaning of a heartache But then again, I've never lost at love before Somewhere down the road Maybe all these years will find some meaning I just can't think about it now, or live 'em out anymore Stand tall, don't you fall oh, don't go and do something foolish You're feeling it like everyone, it's silly human pride Stand tall, don't you fall. don't go do something you'll regret later You're feeling it like everyone, it's silly human pride Never lasted so long Or through so much - or through so many I just can't believe you could throw it all away Sometimes late at night When there's nothing here except my old piano I'd almost give my hands to make you see my way Stand tall, don't you fall oh, don't go and do something foolish You're feeling it like everyone, it's silly human pride; You got me down on my knees for ya, mama Stand tall, don't you fall. don't go do something you'll regret later You're feeling it like everyone, it's silly human pride
