The dangling conversation still hangin' in the air Lingering on my clothes and heaven knows I could stay till the twilight turns to day, and then I'll start the process all over again, and I'll be Pickin' up the pieces Tryin' to find a reason for all the stupid things that I do Days like these are few and further in between When everything falls in place, but I'm disgraced When I'm falling all over the place And tonight I'm calling you, and we can make a late-night rendezvous But tomorrow I'm Pickin' up the pieces Tryin' to find a reason for all the stupid things that I've done with you I'm pickin' up the pieces Makin' up excuses, tryin' to find my way back to you
If one is the loneliest number, then 80's all the proof that I need To pick up all the pieces and pull myself together indeed This dance is finally over, the crowd has all gone home But i stand with you in hand, and no demands have you made of my soul To change my evil ways, and you're still in my blood When night turns day again, and I am Pickin' up the pieces Tryin' to find a reason for all the stupid things that I've done with you I'm pickin' up the pieces Makin' up excuses, tryin' to find my way back to you Put me back to gather and pick up all the pieces of me No more aggravation, I'm picking' up the pieces of me No procrastination, I'm pickin' up the pieces of me
