She picked on me When I was lonely She picked on me When I was down She picked on me It wasn't easy To pull me up And to bring me around She picked on me When I was lonely She kicked me when I was down she picked on me Cause is was plain to see Always in trouble My life was a circus And I was a clown
I was making a life Out of singing the blues And I was learning to choose Which way to lose Sometimes it felt like I was ready to fly Taking off for the sky But didn't know how to try Somebody please turn on the lights Well that's what you did By shaking me left and right
(CHORUS)
I was searching the fire But couldn't hold on to the truth Wanted to go up in style Holding on to my cowboy boots There was no way up and there was no way
I was coming down Still I was going for the final count I was going out first round somebody please, please You gotta make me right You weren't easy to find But there was you, you, you, you Down the line
(CHORUS)
Somebody get on my side Cause it ain't easy to hide Somebody get over here Anytime, anywhere Stay close and never go away
(CHORUS)
She picked on me When I was lonely She picked on me When I was down She picked on me It wasn't easy To pull me up And to bring me around She picked on me When I was lonely Kicked me when I was down She picked on me Cause it was plain to see Always in trouble My life was a circus And I was a clown
