(Eddie Rabbitt)

Oh I'm workin' my way up to the bottom
Fighting back the tears that never stop
Yes, I'm workin' my way up to the bottom
And I won't need you when I'll reach the top.

When you left the bottom just fell out from under me
Like a nightmare I kept fallin' endlessly
When I stopped I found a place so dark and lonely.
But the light of hope now I can almost see

And I'm workin' my way up to the bottom
Fighting back the tears that never stop
Yes, I'm workin' my way up to the bottom
And I won't need you when I'll reach the top.

Take away a blind man's cane you leave him helpless
That's what happened when you let go of my hand
As you turned away my arms reached out to hold you
And I fell into a well of pain as you ran.

But now I'm workin' my way up to the bottom
Fighting back the tears that never stop
Yes, I'm workin' my way up to the bottom
And I won't need you when I'll reach the top.

Oh, I'm workin' my way up to the bottom
Fighting back the tears that never stop
Yes, I'm workin' my way up to the bottom
And I won't need you when I'll reach the top...
