World Upon My Back

Picked up the phone, I hear your voice
You say you called for conversation, babe
Say all is well, but I can tell
The same old thing is on your mind
You say I've changed, that I'm a different man
But it's just a different time
What can I do to help you understand
When I can't get you out of your mind

I'll take the world upon my back
I'll take the world upon my back
If that's what it takes to help you ease your pain
Yeah
One day it's white, the next, it's black
I'll take the world upon my back
Until you find the love you lack
I'll take the world upon my back, yeah

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't long ago
You keep me hanging on the line
But tomorrow brings the same old questions
To the answers you can't find
Call me crazy, call me selfish
You can call me anything you need to call me
I take the world upon my shoulders
But I can't get you out of your mind

I'll take the world upon my back
I'll take the world upon my back
If that's what it takes to help you ease your pain
Yeah
One day it's white, the next, it's black
I'll take the world upon my back
Until you find the love you lack
I'll take the world

How can you tell me our love wasn't real?
Do you know who I am? Do you know how I feel?
I could tell you I care, but you've made up your mind
That it's nothing but wasted time

I'll take the world upon my shoulders
But I just can't get you out of your mind

I'll take the world upon my back
I'll take the world upon my back
If that's what it takes to help you ease your pain
Yeah
One day it's white, the next, it's black
I'll take the world upon my back
Until you find the love you lack
I'll take the world upon my back
I'll take the world upon my back
That's what it takes to help you ease your pain
Yeah
One day it's white, the next, it's black
I'll take the world upon my back
Until you find the love you lack
I'll take the world, I'll take the world
I'll take the world
