Tear It On Down(Single Version) - Martha Reeves & The Vandellas

作词：Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson

作曲：Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson

I wanna sing a song about pride listen

You know I love you more than anything

But you've got that mountain of pride standin' in between

This is what you gotta do you gotta

Tear it on down down down

Tear it on down down down

Tear it on down down down

Tear it on down down down

Tear it down let it crumble

Tear it on down to the ground

Tear it down let it crumble

'Cause when you think only of yourself

You can't love nobody else

And when you laugh at those who love

It means you place yourself too high above

But I need you desperately

But with your head in the air you can't see me

With your head in the air you don't know me

Tear it on down down down

Tear it on down down down

Why don't you tear it down let it crumble

Tear it on down to the ground

Tear it down let fallin' cry

In order to live life for what it's worth

You must first come down to earth

Until you face reality

You're just you're just a shadow of what you could be

Now I won't promise sugar and spice

But I'm ready to make any sacrifice

And I need your love even more than ice

So why don't you tear it so why don't you tear it

So why don't you tear it down why don't you

Tear it on down yeah

Tear it on down down down

Movin' on and up away

That won't fly

Why don't you tear it why don't you tear it

Why don't you tear it on down baby

It's just a masquerade

So why don't you do it babe

You'd better tear it on down down

I need you desperately and it ought to be me

You'd better tear it you'd better tear it

You'd gotta tear it on down
