You’ve Got A Cushion To Fall On
[Verse 1]
Good evening, dear
Do you feel okay?
How are things on the job today?
Sit right down and kick off your shoes
Supper will be ready in a minute or two
I can tell your promotion didn't go through
And I can see it's got you feeling sad and blue
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but maybe next year (Maybe next year)
It'll come around (Come around)
Now, don't feel bad
Because you've been let down, because
[Chorus]
You've got a cushion to fall on
You've got a cushion to fall on
You've got me
You've got me, I'm in your corner
[Verse 2]
Oh, come on now, let me see you smile
Looking down really ain't your style
Now, how's about a nice evening kiss?
Things can't be as bad as this
I know you built your hopes up high
And you got shot down just like a bird in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm here to catch you, boy (Catch you, boy)
Every time you fall (Time you fall)
To put you back on your feet
In no time at all, because
[Chorus]
You've got a cushion to fall on
You've got a cushion to fall on
You've got me
You've got me, I'm in your corner
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm here to catch you, boy (Catch you, boy)
Every time you fall (Time you fall)
To put you back on your feet
In no time at all, because
[Chorus]
You've got a cushion to fall on
You've got a cushion to fall on
Hey, you've got it, you've got a cushion to fall on
[Outro]
When your world is sad and blue
Don't you worry 'cause I know what to do for you
Oh yeah
You've got a cushion, got a cushion to fall on
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, don't have to worry no more
Said I'll always understand
Don't you worry, you'll always be my man
Hey, you've got a cushion to fall on
I'll be your cushion, your cushion
