World Upon My Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Picked up the phone, I hear your voice
You say you called for conversation, babe
Say all is well, but I can tell
The same old thing is on your mind
You say I've changed, that I'm a different man
But it's just a different time
What can I do to help you understand
When I can't get you out of your mind
I'll take the world upon my back
(I'll take the world upon my back)
If that's what it takes to help you ease your pain
(Yeah)
One day it's white, the next, it's black
(I'll take the world upon my back)
Until you find the love you lack
I'll take the world upon my back
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't long ago
You keep me hanging on the line
But tomorrow brings the same old answers
To the questions you can't find
So call me crazy, call me selfish
You can call me anything you need to call me
I take the world upon my shoulders
'Cause I can't get you out of your mind
(Chorus)
How can you tell me our love wasn't real?
Do you know who I am? Do you know how I feel?
I could tell you I care, but you've made up your mind
That it's nothing but wasted time
Ooh, I'll take the world
Uh huh, uh huh
I'll take the world upon my shoulders
'Cause I just can't get you out of your mind
(Chorus)
