With the money from her accident   she bought herself a mobile home   so at least she could get some enjoyment   out of being alone   No one could say that she was left up on the shelf   it´s you and me against the world kid she mumbled to herself      Chorus:      When the world falls apart some things stay in place   Levi Stubbs´ tears run down his face      She ran away from home in her mothers best coat   she was married before she was even entitled to vote   and her husband was one of those blokes   the sort who only laughs at his own jokes   the sort a war takes away   and when there wasn´t a war he left anyway      Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong   Are here to make right everything thats wrong   Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too   are here to make it all okay with you      One dark night he came home from the sea   and put a hole in her body where no hole should be   it hurt her more to see him walking out of the door   and though they stitched her back together they   left her heart in pieces on the floor      When the world falls apart some things stay in place   she takes off the Four Tops tape and puts it back in its case   When the world falls apart some things stay in place   Levi Stubbs´ tears......
