It's a cold old world that we're walking thru Lay down the burden of your heart Bodies warm as toast walking two by two Lay down the burden of your heart Lay down the burden of your heart I know you'll never miss it Show your daddy where it hurts And let your daddy kiss it It's a fine fine line betwixt love and hate It's tuff to tell the two apart But you know it's love that I offer you Lay down the burden of your heart It's a cold old world that we're walking thru They ought to tell you from the start But what strength I have girl I offer you Lay down the burden of your heart
