Hey little wise man

You got the sweetest notion

Ooh the sweetest thing

Just once in a lifetime

You need a helping hand

Ooh a caring hand



You keep it wrapped up inside

It's like a lethal potion

Gonna find it soul destroying



Woah, don't take it any further now baby

Woah, won't lead you anywhere

Woah, it's pushing and a hurting you baby

Woah, I'll say a little prayer



No other wise man

Could take the hurt like you do

Ooh the pain like you

Putting on a brave face

But it gets to you somehow

Ooh gets through somehow



You hold your head in your hands

And the weight of the world on your shoulders

Come and pour your heart out to me



Woah, don't take it any further now baby

Woah, won't lead you anywhere

Woah, it's pushing and a hurting you baby

Woah, I'll say a little prayer



You keep it wrapped up inside

It's like a lethal potion

Gonna find it soul destroying



Woah, don't take it any further now baby

Woah, won't lead you anywhere

Woah, it's pushing and a hurting you baby

Woah, I'll say a little prayer
