VERSE 1 I've been waiting all night long I've been waiting to sing your song Tonight, if you help me Just help me find your key VERSE 2 I run my hands down your neck I'll cross it back to another fret I know you're fragile You're bound to self-destruct VERSE 3 And I can see right through your skin Your bones are hollow, they're paper-thin Tonight, you're weightless I know the way you feel CHORUS So try, try lifting all your weight - For a man, a man gone wrong And try, try wasting all your days - On a man, a man like me VERSE 4 And my love is a lot like yours It's been crippled by the wars We wage, we're hopeless We're on the losing side VERSE 5 You never speak when we're making love You never mean it when you come To me, with your arms stretched Defenseless and alone CHORUS So try, try lifting all your weight - For a man, a man gone wrong And try, try wasting all your days - On a man, a man like me QUICK INTERLUDE (1 BAR) - - - - - BRIDGE I taste you on my fingers And I smell you on my lips I don't know where you're going But you're going to slip Hey honey better save yourself You're never gonna make it Hey honey, honey better save yourself You're never gonna make it CHORUS So try, try lifting all your weight - For a man, a man gone wrong And try, try wasting all your days - On a man, a man like me
