You laugh for too many people
To get too close to you
All they're taggin' along
'Cause they don't have anything better to do
Oh, but when you're down and out
And you know what I'm talkin' about
Look around for a friend
And you gonna find we're very few
I don't where along the line
It came about?
They deny you're a part of me, child
Just can't live without
I'm closer than your shadow
And I can feel the little things you do
So when life goes wrong for you
Say, when life goes wrong for you
Said when life goes wrong for you
It's hurtin' me, too
Yea, it's a not such a perfect world
By now you realize
And just because they smile
Don't think they're all good guys
Even loneliness is another thing, child
And when you left on the frequent flier
And if you think it's gonna be so easy
You're in for a real surprise
I don't know where along the line
It came about?
Now, I know you're just a part of me
I can't live without, oh Lord
I'm closer than your shadow
And I feel the little things you do
So when life goes wrong for you, woo
Life goes wrong for you, baby
When life goes wrong for you
It hurts me too
It hurts me too
When I hear about the trips people lay on you
It hurts me too
When there's nothin' in the world I can do
'Cept to wish you well
While you go through hell
But you need not feel so alone
'Cause I'll be there
I don't know where along the line
It came about?
Now, you're part of me
That I just can't live without
You know, I'm closer than your shadow
Feel the little things you do
So when life goes wrong for you
Say, when love goes wrong for you
Hey, when all your dreams fall through
And you don't know what to do
And the world is treatin' you bad, mama
And you feel like you've been had
Hey, you're tried to play it and lose
You simply pay your dues
When life goes wrong for you
Say, when love goes wrong for you
Take me, too
