Putting Things in Place - Magnum

Now

People will say

She’s just a fool

And won’t survive

She

Gave it away

Gone with the early morning call

She knew they lied

Down

She just broke down

Tying her hair

Fixing her blouse

Down

She just broke down

Whispered a prayer

Then screamed out loud

Look

It’s one o’clock

He didn’t call

Didn’t get back

She

Tried to unlock

All of her dreams that she denied

Had turned to black

Down

She just broke down

Touching his face

Straightening his tie

Down

She just broke down

Put things in place

Just to get by

Somehow

She would believe

Thinking

That she could deal

You know

It’s not like that

Sometimes

Things get unreal

Down

She just broke down

Tying her hair

Fixing her blouse

Down

She just broke down

Whispered a prayer

Then screamed out loud

Down

She just broke down

Touching his face

Straightening his tie

Down

She just broke down
