Workin' My Way Up to the Bottom

(Eddie Rabbitt)



Oh I'm workin' my way up to the bottom

Fighting back the tears that never stop

Yes, I'm workin' my way up to the bottom

And I won't need you when I'll reach the top.



When you left the bottom just fell out from under me

Like a nightmare I kept fallin' endlessly

When I stopped I found a place so dark and lonely.

But the light of hope now I can almost see



And I'm workin' my way up to the bottom

Fighting back the tears that never stop

Yes, I'm workin' my way up to the bottom

And I won't need you when I'll reach the top.

Take away a blind man's cane you leave him helpless

That's what happened when you let go of my hand

As you turned away my arms reached out to hold you

And I fell into a well of pain as you ran.



But now I'm workin' my way up to the bottom

Fighting back the tears that never stop

Yes, I'm workin' my way up to the bottom

And I won't need you when I'll reach the top.



Oh, I'm workin' my way up to the bottom

Fighting back the tears that never stop

Yes, I'm workin' my way up to the bottom

And I won't need you when I'll reach the top...
