Intro:    I’m the living result    I’m a man who’s been hurt a little too much   And I’ve tasted the bitterness of my own tears   Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel    I can’t stand up for falling down    I can’t stand up for falling down   Simple though love is   Still it confused me    Why I’m not loved the way I should be    Now I’ve lived with heartaches   And I’ve roomed with fear   I’ve dealt with despair   And I’ve wrestled with tears    I can’t stand up for falling down    I can’t stand up for falling down    The vow that we made   You broke it in two    But that don’t stop me from loving you    I can’t stand up for falling down    I can’t stand up for falling down
