[Verse 2]

Too heavy, too light, too black or too white, too wrong or too right
Today or tonight, cumbersome
Too rich or too poor, she's wanting me less and I'm wanting her more
The bitter taste is cumbersome
No, yeah, no-no, no
No-no, no, yeah

Today or tonight, cumbersome
Too rich or too poor, she's wanting me less and I'm wanting her more
The bitter taste is cumbersome
[Outro]
No, yeah, no, no, no
No-no, no, yeah
No-no, no, no, yeah
Your life has become cumbersome
