Hey little wise man
You got the sweetest notion
The sweetest thingJust once in a lifetime
You need a helping hand
A helping handYou keep it wrapped up inside
It's like a lethal potion
Gonna find it soul destroyingDon't take it any further now, baby
Won't lead you anywhere
It's pushing and a hurting you, baby
I'll say a little prayerNo other wise man
Could take the hurt like you do
The pain like youPutting on a brave face
But it gets to you somehow
Gets through somehowYou hold your head in your hands
And the weight of the world on your shoulders
Come and pour your heart out to meDon't take it any further now, baby
Won't lead you anywhere
It's pushing and a hurting you, baby
I'll say a little prayerYou keep it wrapped up inside
It's like a lethal potion
Gonna find it soul destroyingDon't take it any further now, baby
Won't lead you anywhere
It's pushing and a hurting you, baby
I'll say a little prayer
