[Verse 1]
You allow for too many people to get too close to you
Or they're taggin' along 'cause they don't have anything better to do
Oh, but when you're down and out, and you know what I'm talkin' about
Look around for a friend, and you're gonna find we're very few
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't where along the line it came about (Came about)
Yeah, but now you're a part of me, child, I just can't live without (Live without)
I'm closer than your shadow, and I can feel the little things you do
[Chorus]
So, when life goes wrong for you
Say, when life goes wrong for you
Said when life goes wrong for you
It's hurtin' me, too
[Verse 2]
Hey, it's a not such a perfect world by now you realize
And just because they smile, don't think they're all good guys
Even loneliness is a little bitty, child, and when you left on the frequent flier
If you think it's gonna be so easy, you're in for a real surprise
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know where along line it came about (Came about)
Now, I know you're just a part of me, I can't live without, oh Lord (Live without)
I'm closer than your shadow, and I feel the little things you do
[Chorus]
So, when life goes wrong for you, woo
Life goes wrong for you, baby
When life goes wrong for you
It hurts me, too
[Bridge]
It hurts me, too
When I hear about the trips people lay on you
It hurts me, too
When there's nothin' in the world I can do
Except to wish you well
While you go through hell
But you need not feel so alone
'Cause I'll be there
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know where along the line it came about (Came about)
Now, you're part of me that I just can't live without (Live without)
You know, I'm closer than your shadow, feel the little things you do
[Chorus]
So, when life goes wrong for you
Say, when love goes wrong for you
Hey, when all your dreams fall through
And you don't know what to do
And the world is treatin' you bad, mama
And you feel like you've been had
Hey, you're tried to play it and lose
You simply pay your dues
When life goes wrong for you
Say, when love goes wrong for you
Take me, too (Woo)
