"Kick Me When I'm Down" lyrics - STATUS QUO

It didn't take you long, to find someone new
You moved right along, I can't believe it's true
And worst of all, it's my best friend,
Aint that really rubbin' it in

Kick me when I'm down, why don't you
Kick me when I'm down, why don't you
First you put me down, then you make clown out of me
It's all over town, how could you
Kick me when I'm down, I tell you
They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me

You say we'd grown apart, and that your love had died
But you made a new start, babe, before my tears had dried
I called my buddy, 'cos I was alone,
That's when you answered the phone
Kick me when I'm down, why don't you
Kick me when I'm down, why don't you
First you put me down, then you make clown out of me
It's all over town, how could you
Kick me when I'm down, I tell you
They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me

Well I'm no stranger to pain, I got it down to a tee
From the school of hard knocks, I got my honorary phd
I didn't ask for this, I didn't treat you bad
A fool for your kiss, I gave you everything that I had
But you were wearing my old pal's ring,
While I was still wearing black
Kick me when I'm down, why don't you
Kick me when I'm down, why don't you
First you put me down, then you make clown out of me
It's all over town, how could you
Kick me when I'm down, I tell you
They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me
They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me

Kick me when I'm down, why don't you,
Kick me when I'm down, kick me when I'm down,
Why don't you splatter my brains all over town
Kick me when I'm down
