Song Lyrics

Your hands are shaking now
You're short of breath
You got to get away
And start again

And someone said
"you are having a breakdown"
And don't you know that
You are best for the fall.

I'm telling you that this is going to be your tragic time.
Stuck up in your private hand.
And best to do in this tragic world
And girl don't you make me watch you cry
You're going mental
And im feeling that you let go
'cause they said she said I said that you know.

[Chorus]
You're having a breakdown!
You're having a breakdown!
And all things you ask in your prayers
Are falling away now.

I can't fall asleep
I'm talking fast
Standing side by side
So close to me

And someone said
"you are sleeping away now."
And don't you know that
You, you placed yourself on that fall

I'm telling you that this is going to be your tragic time.
Stuck up in your private hand.
And best to do in this tragic world
And girl don't you make me watch you cry
You're going mental
And I'm feeling that you let go
'cause they said she said I said that you know.

[Chorus]

You know that you're trying to get somewhere
When you're feeling like its all too much to bare.
You know you got to watch your step
Take a minute girl, catch your breath.

David Coverdale, Mick Moody
