  • Uh, oh oh, oh
    Uh, oh oh, oh
    Uh, oh oh, oh
    Uh, oh oh, oh
    Uh, oh oh, oh

    You walk and talk
    Like you're some new sensation
    You move in circles
    You don't need an invitation
    You spend your money
    You can't get no satisfaction
    You play it right so you can get the right reaction

    It won't be long my darling
    Pick up the phone
    Nobody's on it
    Where are your friends now baby
    How's anyone supposed to be there for

    You (you)
    You're falling down
    The world starts spinning 'round
    You (you)
    When you're falling down
    No, it's not all about
    You (you)
    When you're falling down
    You know I'll be around
    When you're falling down, falling down

    Falling down, down, down, you're falling down

    What's out of place when you look into the mirror?
    The truth is blurry but the lies are getting clearer
    Your eyes are fixed, your smile is so elastic
    You gave me roses but they're all just made of plastic

    It won't be long my darling
    Pick up the phone
    Nobody's on it
    Where are your friends now baby
    Aren't they supposed to be there for

    You (you)
    When you're falling down
    The world starts spinning out
    You (you)
    When you're falling down
    No, it's not all about
    You (you)
    When you're falling down
    You know I'll be around
    When you're falling down, falling down

    Smile for the camera, everybody's looking at ya
    Smile for the camera, cause they're all about to trash ya
    Smile for the camera, camera, camera, smile for the camera
    Who's gonna catch ya?

    You, you

    You (you)
    When you're falling down
    The world starts spinning out
    You (you)
    When you're falling down
    No, it's not all about
    You (you)
    When you're falling down
    You know I'll be around
    When you're falling down, falling down

    Smile for the camera,
    Everybody's looking at ya
    Smile for the camera
    'Cause they're all about to trash ya Writer/s: Regina Ann Schock, Ted E. Bruner, Trey Vittetoe
