Put the Weight on Me

When you're young and fancy free
You don't need nobody
But as time goes on bad things happen to you
People let you down and make you feel blue
Then the world doesn't seem such a friendly place
You're getting behind in the human race
It's then that you need that kind of love
Someone to lean on when the times are rough

So, Put the weight on me
'Cause I got love to give you
Put the weight on me
Oh, yes please do
Oh, yes please do

Well, I used to think that it was cool
Breaking all the rules
But now I find I've got nothing to hold
Onto and people can be so cold
Maybe you're feeling that way too
If you are then I'm here for you
I'm here to give you that kind of love
Someone to lean on when the times are rough

So, put the weight on me... etc.

Let me into your mind
I can help you carry your load
Help you leave the past behind
On this hard road
I see your beauty, I can feel your heart
Come on lets be together
It makes no sense to be apart
When we can support each other,

so, put the weight on me... etc
