Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away
Oh, gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh twice as much ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
Oh twice as much ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
Oh gravity has taken better men than me
How can that be?
Just keep me where the light is (ooh)
Just keep me where the light is (ooh)
Just keep me where the light is (ooh)
C'mon keep me where the light is (ooh)
C'mon keep me where the light is (ooh)
C'mon keep me where keep me where the light is (ooh, ooh)
