TOO FAR DOWN
|
Luther Vandross and Marcus Miller
|
(album: NEVER LET ME GO - 1993)
|
|
Verse I:
|
Last time you thought of him, he thought of you
|
And it proves the magic was for real
|
Just then the winds of change
|
Brought down the falling rain, so unexpected
|
What should you do
|
|
Now, you've got plans to change, some things to rearrange
|
Scared of tomorrow, scared of right now too
|
See, it's all very sad
|
Can't deny you feel bad
|
But I just don't want you to let this thing take you over
|
|
Chorus:
|
Don't let it hurt so bad, don't let it because
|
Everything can be the way that it was
|
But keep hurt inside and it's just like those tears of the clown
|
Everyone says that you'll come back around
|
But, not if you fall too far down
|
|
Verse II:
|
No one really knows
|
When their clouds will go away
|
That's why they say we should always save
|
For a rainy day
|
|
Someone made some promises that didn't keep
|
It set you up just to let you down
|
Be careful not to let it push you around
|
And you'll be okay, if you take one day by one day
|
See, I just don't want you to
|
Let this thing take you over
|
|
Chorus:
|
Don't let it hurt so bad, don't let it because
|
Most of your life can be the way that it was
|
But, keep hurt inside and it's just like those tears of the clown
|
Everyone thinks that you'll come back around
|
But, not if you fall too far down
|
|
Bridge:
|
Too far down is where you fall when you don't care no more
|
But, what about love
|
Isn't it worth living for
|
You don't know
|
|
Chorus:
|
Don't let it hurt so bad, don't let it because
|
Everything can really be the way that it was
|
But keep hurt inside and it's just like those tears of the clown
|
Everyone says that you'll come back around
|
But, not if you fall too far down
|
|
You're not the only one, who's love and whose lost
|
So many people, too, know they've all paid the cost
|
The thing that we learn is how to get a smile from a frown
|
Go ahead if you want, stumble and fall
|
But, don't fall honey too far down
|
|
Final Refrain:
|
Pick yourself up, if you're lost you'll be found
|
But if you don't care, you're just too far down
|
I know you feel so left out, pushed around
|
But nevertheless, don't go too far down
|
|
Fade
