Weight of the World Ringo Starr

[Verse 1]
Maybe your daddy never held you like you should
Maybe your mama just held on the best she could
Every soul has a secret
Give it away or keep it
But yesterday's gone so tell me why

[Chorus]
You carry the weight, the weight of the world
It's breaking you down on your back like a boulder
Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl
Get it off of your shoulder
I know you've been used
But you got to lose the weight of the world

[Verse 2]
Maybe I haven't always been there just for you
Maybe I try but then I got my own life too
Every heart has a hunger
I'm not getting any younger
I got all the crosses i can bear

[Chorus]
Don't give me the weight, the weight of the world
It's breaking me down on my back like a boulder
Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl
Get it off of my shoulder
You know I've been used
And I got to lose the weight of the world
