[Segue: Chorus]
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
[Instrumental Break 0:23-0:44]
[Verse]
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down
[Chorus]
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
[Transition]
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
[Instrumental Break 0:23-0:44]
[Verse]
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down
[Chorus]
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
