Weight of the World

[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
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 helping hand)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You keep it wrapped up inside
It's like a lethal potion
(Gonna find it soul-destroying)

[Chorus: Andy Bell & Jane Ayre]
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

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
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)

[Pre-Chorus 2: Andy Bell]
You hold your head in your hands
And the weight of the world on your shoulders
(Come and pour your heart out to me)

[Chorus: Andy Bell & Jane Ayre]
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

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell, (Jane Ayre)]
You keep it wrapped up inside
It's like a lethal potion
(Gonna find it soul-destroying)

[Chorus: Andy Bell & Jane Ayre]
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

[Outro: Andy Bell & Jane Ayre]
(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

(Woah) Don't take it any further now baby
Woah, won't lead you anywhere
