Lyrics Bettye Lavette

Bettye Lavette

Down To Zero

Oh the feeling

When you're reeling

You're stepin' lightly thinking you're number one

Down to zero with a word

Leaving

For another one

Now you walkin' with your feet

Back on the ground

Down to the ground

Down to the ground

Down to the ground

All the way Down to the ground

Brand new dandy

First class scene stealer

She strolls through the crowd and walks off with your man

Sends you rushing to the mirror

Brush back your hair and say

There's more beauty in you than anyone

Oh remember when I walked the warm sands beside you

Moored to your heel

Let the waves come a rushing in

She'll take the worry from your head

But then again and again

She'll put trouble in your heart instead

Then you'll fall

You'll gonna know heartache

Still more crying

When you're thinking bout your mama's only son

Take him to your bed

Then you'll find peace in sleepin'

But you'll dream of love instead

Oh the heartache you'll find

Can bring more pain than a blistering sun

But oh when you fall

Oh when you fall

You'll know heartache

Still more crying

When you're thinking bout your mama's only son

Take him to your bed

Think you'll find peace in sleepin'

But you'll dream nothin' but love instead

Oh when you fall

Oh when you fall

Fall at my door
