[Lyric] Man Upstairs (Carly Simmons)

[Verse 1]
I spent my rent money on alcohol, mmm
And for the past few weeks, I ain't sleepin' at all
He promised me heaven, but I'm goin' through hell, ooh
It starts sinkin' in I'm all by myself
I coulda cried for help, but

[Chorus]
I never went there, I never knocked on His door
And now I'm scared that He don't live there no more
And God, I need someone that truly cares
I wish I went to the Man upstairs

[Verse 2]
Passed out on the couch, the kitchen lights
Are still on in the railroad stop tonight
My bathroom mirror is split in two
Maybe I don't see myself the way that I want to
If I knew it all, I wouldn't be here
There's a Man in the moon just waitin' up there
[Chorus]
I never went there, I never knocked on His door
And now I'm scared that He don't live there no more
And God, I need someone that truly cares
I wish I went to the Man upstairs

[Post-Chorus]
(To the man upstairs)
(Oh-oh)

[Chorus]
I never went there, I never knocked on His door
And now I'm scared that He don't live there no more
And God, I need someone that truly cares
I wish I went to the Man upstairs

[Post-Chorus]
I cry 'cause I need to
I can't hide what I've been through
The Man upstairs (I cry 'cause I need to)
The Man upstairs (I can't hide what I've been through)
The Man upstairs (I cry 'cause I need to)
I can't hide what I've been through

[Outro]
I've been on the down and out right under Your floor
I knocked on Your door, never been there before
I've been down and out, stuck in this place
Been down and out, stuck in this place
Been down and out, stuck in this place
Been down and out, stuck in this place
Been down and out, stuck in this place
