“Put It There” was the fifth and final single released from Flowers in the Dirt. The lyrics focus on friendship, understanding, and optimism, common themes in McCartney’s songwriting, while the sparse, acoustic instrumentation recalls some of his Beatles songs such as “Yesterday” and “I Will.”
[Verse 1]
Give me your hand
I'd like to shake it
I want to show you I'm your friend
You'll understand
If I can make it clear
It's all that matters in the end
[Chorus]
"Put it there if it weighs a ton"
That's what a father said to his young son
"I don't care if it weighs a ton
As long as you and I are here, put it there
Long as you and I are here, put it there"
[Verse 2]
If there's a fight, I'd like to fix it
I hate to see things go so wrong
The darkest night and all it's mixed emotions
Is getting lighter sing along
[Chorus]
"Put it there if it weighs a ton"
That's what a father said to his young son
"I don't care if it weighs a ton
As long as you and I are here, put it there
Long as you and I are here, put it there"
