There's shelter in misery
Everyone feels just like me
It's too heavy to lift myself
So put me up back on the shelf
Your eyes are wild tonight
Three in the morning New York City time
And twenty-four hours later
We're still feelin' fine
Now every night and every day, now
I'm falling apart, I'm rippin' apart

Don't rip me, don't rip me up
Don't tear me, don't tear me down
I got nothing to hold me together no more
So tonight just let me curl up on the floor

My money has all been spent
Kicked out over three months rent now
I dreamed one day I'd meet the President
Now every night and every day, now
I'm falling apart
I'm rippin' apart

Don't rip me, don't rip me up baby
Don't tear me, tear me down
I got nothing to hold me together no more
So tonight just let me curl up on the floor

Don't rip me, don't rip me up
Don't tear me, tear me down
I got nothing to hold me together no more
So tonight just let me curl up on the floor

Don't rip me, don't rip me up baby
Don't tear me, tear me down
I got nothing to hold me together
I got nothing to hold me together now

Don't rip me up
Don't tear me down
