Elvis Costello I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down

Can't Stand Up The reason I'm so certain about these lyrics is that at a record show years ago, I bought a battered copy of Sam and Dave's version. It's done in a stately gospel style that Elvis later adopted for concert performances of the song. Here goes: (minor correctios by Paul Hosken ([email protected])) I'm the living result Of a man who's been hurt a little too much And I've tasted The bitterness of my own tears Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel I can't stand up etc. Simple though love is, still it confused me Why I'm not loved the way I should be Now I've lived with heartaches and I've roomed with fear I've dealt with despair And I've wrestled with tears I can't stand up etc. The vow that we made, you broke it in two but that don't stop me from loving you I can't stand up etc.
