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 Don't get me wrong, it wasn't long ago You keep me hanging on the line But tomorrow brings the same old answers To the questions you can't find So call me crazy, call me selfish You can call me anything you need to call me I take the world upon my shoulders 'Cause I can't get you out of your mind (Chorus) 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 Ooh, I'll take the world Uh huh, uh huh I'll take the world upon my shoulders 'Cause I just can't get you out of your mind (Chorus)
