Lyrics for I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down

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 for falling down I can't stand up for falling down Simple though love is still it confused me Why I'm not loved the way I should be Now I've lived with heartaches (ooh-ooh), and I've roomed with fear I've dealt with despair, and I've wrestled with tears I can't stand up for falling down I can't stand up for falling down The vow that we made You broke it in two But that don't stop me From loving you And I can't stand up for falling down I can't stand up for falling down (ooh-ooh)
