Weight Of The World
Ringo Starr

Maybe your daddy never held you like he should

Maybe your mama just held on the best she could

Every soul has a secret

Ya give it away or keep it

But yesterday's gone so tell me why


You carry the weight

The weight of the world

It's breakin' you down

On your back like a boulder

Before it's too late

Get rid of it girl

Get it off of your shoulder

I know you've been used

But you gotta lose the weight of the world


Maybe I haven't always been there just for you

Maybe I try but then I got my own life too

Every heart has a hunger

I'm not gettin' any younger

And I got all the crosses I can bear


Don't gimme the weight

The weight of the world

It's breakin' me down

On my back like a boulder

Before it's too late

Get rid of it girl

Get it off of my shoulder

You know I've been used

And I gotta lose the weight of the world

It all comes down to who you crucify

You either kiss the future or the past goodbye

We could fly so high


But we carry the weight

The weight of the world

It's breakin' us down

On our backs like a boulder

Before it's too late

Get rid of it girl

Get it off of our shoulders

We've all been used

And we gotta lose the weight of the world

It's takin' us down

And the night's growin' colder

Just blame it on fate

That was yesterday girl

And we're just growin' older

We've all been abused

Now it's time to lose the weight of the world
