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
