Pieces Of A Man - David Ruffin

Pieces, pieces of a man, now

Oh, that’s all that’s left, girl, that’s all I am

With that invisible knife

You cut me clean in two

I was shocked when you

When you said that we were through

What did I do wrong, baby yeah, ooh

I can feel my heart coming down and fall

Just like Humpty Dumpty, off the wall

You left me in the shadows of yesterday

I’m a man that used to be

Oh, now I’m left, now I’m left, now I’m left with

Pieces, pieces of a man, now

Removed from reality

Stripped, stripped of my sanity

I was struck right down

By the cold heart, look, you were

Just lik a broken glass

Scattered all ovr the floor

To be useful no more

Say it again, y’all

We made such beautiful future plans

Fate moved in with a ugly hand and crushed them

Oh, and there I stood

Robbed of my manlihood

Now, now I’m left, now I’m left, now I’m left with pieces

Oh, baby

When you said you loved me

Were they someone else’s lines

That you thought you had to say?

Pieces of a man, now

Scattered through the wind like dust

No one to believe in now

Ah, no one to deceive me now

I have no one to trust, baby

Oh, like a jigsaw puzzle with one lost part

I’m left without a heart

The one who worshipped me

Oh, destroyed me

Oh, how could that be, baby, baby, baby

Now I’m left with pieces

Pieces of a man, now

Removed from reality

Stripped of my sanity

Now I’m left with pieces

Pieces of a man, now

No one to believe in, now

No one to deceive me, now

Now I’m left with pieces

Pieces of a man, now

Left with no one to…
