ALTOGETHER NOW, LET'S FALL APART
(Johnny Koonse)

Johnny Russell - 1972

Lips are you ready to tremble
Hands are you ready to shake
Eyes get ready to cry
Heart get ready to break

Here she comes now, she's gettin' closer
Is everyone ready to start
Altogether now, let's fall apart

Nerves you'll be going to pieces
Tears you'll stream down my face
Head you'll be spinning around
It's time, everyone take your place

We're all in this thing together
My body my mind and my heart
Altogether now, let's fall apart

I couldn't keep her from leaving
Though I tried, oh Lord, I tried
But heart you let me cheat
Then lips you went and lied

Here she comes now, she's gettin' closer
Does everyone remember his part
Altogether now, let's fall apart
Altogether now, let's fall apart
