Weight Of The World Lyrics

Hey little wise man
You got the sweetest notion
Ooh the sweetest thing
Just once in a lifetime
You need a helping hand
Ooh a caring hand

You keep it wrapped up inside
It's like a lethal potion
Gonna find it soul destroying

Woah, don't take it any further now baby
Woah, won't lead you anywhere
Woah, it's pushing and a hurting you baby
Woah, I'll say a little prayer

No other wise man
Could take the hurt like you do
Ooh the pain like you
Putting on a brave face
But it gets to you somehow
Ooh gets through somehow

You hold your head in your hands
And the weight of the world on your shoulders
Come and pour your heart out to me

Woah, don't take it any further now baby
Woah, won't lead you anywhere
Woah, it's pushing and a hurting you baby
Woah, I'll say a little prayer

You keep it wrapped up inside
It's like a lethal potion
Gonna find it soul destroying

Woah, don't take it any further now baby
Woah, won't lead you anywhere
Woah, it's pushing and a hurting you baby
Woah, I'll say a little prayer

Cover art for Weight Of The World lyrics by Erasure

This person has the sweetest notion, nice intentions, they're a good person. But they have a lot of problems that remain hidden from others' eyes, and they're doing things that hurt themself, they might think it is for the good of everyone, but it is not. But the singer understands them and their struggle and offers a helping hand.
