I wake up in the morning, I think I want to drink
A cup filled with water from the kitchen sink
Well, the dog that we both love and raised from a pup
And I tried to hide the pain, oh Lord every time I pick him up

And all because I need you more
My whole world is falling down

Ooh, though the tears in my eyes burn, we built this world within
Turned my back on you when you had so much love to give
Oh, this home is just a house, oh, a place to lay my head
Ooh, the roof must have a leak, oh Lord 'cos it's raining in my bed

And all because I need you more
My whole world is falling down
Oh yeah, falling all around

I never knew that you would leave me
Even though you've been mistreated
Oh, won't you know your love is needed now
My whole world is falling down

Since the day you've gone, I can't get no sleep
Even a part-time job, my love, is mighty hard to keep
Well, I miss the evening meal that you used to cook
And all my clothes are hanging off you should see the way I look

And all because I love you more
My whole world is falling down
Oh, is falling all around
Said, is falling all around, yeah
