My Whole World Is Falling Down

(album: Bound To Happen - 1969)

My whole world is falling down
My whole world is falling down

I wake up in the mornings, I think I want a drink
I can't even get water, from the kitchen sink
The dog that we both loved and raised from a pup
Tried to bite my hand lord every time I pick him up

Because I need you more
My whole world is falling down, ooh yeah
Crumbled around, all around

All your tears and my hard work, we built the home we live
I turned my back on you, when you had so much love to give
Now this home is just a house, a place to lay my head
The roof must have a leak Lord, 'cause its raining in my bed

I never knew that you would need me
Even though you've been mistreated
How to know your love is needed now

Since you been gone, I don't get no sleep
Even a part time job Lord, is mighty hard to keep
I miss that evening meal that you used to cook
My clothes are hanging off me girl, you should see the way I live
Baby please, don't go, my whole world is falling down
Baby please, don't go, my whole world is falling down, ooh yeah
Falling on down, crumbling all over
I need you so bad
Won't you come home, baby?
My whole world is falling down
I said it's falling all around, yes it is
Baby, come home
Girl, I need you so...
