George Strait – Let’s Fall To Pieces Together

“Let’s Fall to Pieces Together” is a song written by Dickey Lee, Johnny Russell and Tommy Rocco, and recorded by American country music singer George Strait. It was released in May 1984 as the third and final single from the album Right or Wrong. The song was George Strait’s fifth number one on the country chart.

Dan Milliken of Country Universe gave the song a ‘B’ grade, saying that it has a great title that says it all upfront. He goes on to say that “the melody here lands just shy of memorable, and ditto to the story, which never takes its characters deeper than their first encounter at the jukebox.” He refers to the song as the kind that will be jukeboxes “and the title pops out enough to ensure you’ll pick it.”

George Strait – Let’s Fall To Pieces Together Lyrics

Pardon me, you left your tears on the jukebox,
And I’m afraid they got mixed up with mine.
I don’t mean to pry,
It’s just that I noticed you going out of your mind.
Looks like we’re two of a kind.

[Chorus:]
Let’s fall to pieces together.
Why should we both fall apart?
Let’s fall to pieces together
Right here in each other’s arms.

Alone is much better together,
And the worst is still yet to come.
So let’s share the rest of the tears
That are left from two hearts that just came undone.
Why should we go crazy alone?

[Chorus]

Let’s fall to pieces together
Right here in each other’s arms.
