Pick Up the Pieces (Put It Back) Songtext
von Billy Ocean

Don′t give in (no, no, no never give up)
You'll never know what tomorrow will bring (no, no, no)
While you′re seating there (never give up)
All alone
Hoping for a better thing (no, no, no)

Don't try (Don't try to fight it, oh no)
It′s easier (it′s easier to say a prayer)
Ah-ah-ah (when the world is)
Ah-ah-ah (on your shoulder)
Ah-ah-ah (nobody cares)

You've got to (pick up the pieces)
Put it back yeah (put it back)
(Pick up the pieces) when you feel sorry for yourself
(Put it back) you′ve got to
(Pick up the pieces)
(Put it back) you've got to pick it up yeah
(Pick up the pieces) when you feel sorry for yourself
(Put it back) you′ve got to


If one day (no, no, no never give up)
You fall victim of the circumstance (never give up, never give up)
Would you ask (never give up)
Of the father, begging for a second chance?

Don't try (Don′t try to fight it, oh no)
It's easier (it's easier to say a prayer)
Ah-ah-ah (when the world is)
Ah-ah-ah (on your shoulder)
Ah-ah-ah (nobody cares)

You′ve got to (pick up the pieces)
(Put it back)
(Pick up the pieces) when you feel sorry for yourself
(Put it back) you′ve got to
Pick it up yeah, yeah (pick up the pieces)
(Put it back) pick it up, pick it up
(Pick up the pieces) when you feel sorry for yourself
(Put it back) you've got to, yeah
Yeah


Why do you worry about today?
When the sun is gonna shine again tomorrow anyway
Pick up the pieces, bounce right back (why do you worry)
Put it back together (about today?)
Soon you′ll be on track right back, right back (when the sun is gonna shine again)
Right back, why don't you (tomorrow, anyway)
Pick up the pieces bounce right back, put it back together
Soon you′ll be on track right back, right back, right back (where you can now say to yourself)

You've got to (pick up the pieces)
(Put it back)
(Pick up the pieces) when you feel sorry for yourself
(Put it back) you′ve got to
(Pick up the pieces)
(Put it back)
(Pick up the pieces) when you feel sorry for yourself
(Put it back, put it back) you've got to

(Pick up the pieces) why do you worry about
(Put it back) today? Why do you?
(Pick up the pieces) why do you worry about
(Put it back) today? Why do you?
(Pick up the pieces) why do you worry about
(Put it back) today? Why do you?
(Pick up the pieces, bounce right back) when you feel sorry for yourself
(Try it again, try it again) put it back, put it back

(Pick up the pieces) why do you worry about
(Put it back) today? Why do you?
(Pick up the pieces) why do you worry about
(Put it back) today? Why do you?
(Pick up the pieces) why do you worry about
(Put it back) today? Why do you?
