This version of “I Can’t Stand Up For Falling Down” was recorded with Beatles engineer (and eventual Imperial Bedrroom producer) Geoff Emerick almost two years after the release of Get Happy!! The alternate “Can’t Stand” returns the song to the slower, swung style of the Sam & Dave original.
I am the living result
Of a man who's been hurt a little too much
Now I've tasted the bitterness of my own tears
Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel
I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down
Simple though love is
Still it confused me
Why I'm not loved the way I should be
Now I've lived with heartaches
And I've roomed with fear
I've dealt with despair
And I've wrestled with tears
I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down
The vow that we made
You broke it in two
But that don't stop me from loving you
I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up
Stand up (ow!)
I can't stand up (ow!)
I can't stand up, stand up, stand up
