“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

gravity is working against me
and gravity want 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”
