Hey, little wise man, you've got the sweetest notion
(Ooh, the sweetest thing)
Just once in a lifetime, you need a helping hand
(Ooh, a helping hand)
You keep it wrapped up inside
It's like a lethal potion
(Gonna find it soul-destroying)
Whoa, don't take it any further now, baby
Whoa, won't lead you anywhere
Whoa, it's pushin' and a-hurtin' you, baby
Whoa, I'll say a little prayer
No other wise man could take the hurt like you do
(Ooh, the pain like you)
You're putting on 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)
Whoa, don't take it any further now, baby
Whoa, won't lead you anywhere
Whoa, it's pushin' and a-hurtin' you, baby
Whoa, I'll say a little prayer
You keeped it wrapped up inside
It's like a lethal potion
(Gonna find it soul-destroying)
Whoa, don't take it any further now, baby
Whoa, won't lead you anywhere
Whoa, it's pushin' and a-hurtin' you, baby
Whoa, I'll say a little prayer
Whoa, don't take it any further now, baby
Whoa, won't lead you anywhere
Whoa, it's pushin' and a-hurtin' you, baby
Whoa, I'll say a little prayer
Whoa, don't take it any further now, baby
Whoa, won't lead you anywhere
Whoa, it's pushin' and a-hurtin' you, baby
