pick me up on your way down

once my love was good enough, true happiness we knew, then fame and fortune came your way, and made a change in you, you'll find your ladder of success, is not on solid ground, and when it starts to tumble, pick me up on your way down, pick me up when dreams are shattered, when false friends cannot be found, for you know i'll still be waiting, pick me up on your way down, you've hit the top, but it won't last, there's just one way to go, the world you've chosen is not real, these things you'll come to know, when folks say they don't know you, and you've lost your final round, when you find that you are lonely, pick me up on your way down, pick me up when dreams are shattered, when false friends cannot be found, for you know i'll still be waiting, pick me up on your way down
