You were mine for just awhile
Now you're putting on the style
And you never once looked back
At your home across the track

You're the gossip of the town
But my heart can still be found
Where you tossed it on the ground
Pick me up on your way down

Pick me up on your way down
When you're blue and all alone
When the glamor starts to boar you
Come on back where you belong

You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy
When they take away your crown
Pick me up on your way down

Well, they've changed your attitude
Made you haughty and so rude
But underneath, you're still the same
Hey, I know they're to blame

If you find these thing are true
I'll be waiting here for you
As you tumble to the ground
Pick me up on your way down

Yeah, pick me up on your way down
When you're blue and all alone
When the glamor starts to boar you
Come on back where you belong

You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy
When they take away your crown
Pick me up on your way down
