Worried Man
Paolo Nutini · Sunny Side Up [2009]
Oh worries are about
And heavy on his gut
He feels he's being punished
For the bad things that he's done
Help him Jesus, help him
Send him down a sign
'Cause he feel's he is getting old before his time
And he's sitting at the table
The table he has set
He is begging for the courage to redeem some self respect
Help him Jesus, help him
Walk along the line
'Cause he feel's he is getting old before his time
He says it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
He's worried now
But he won't be worried long
He broke her heart on a warm and sunny day
Oh he broke her heart on a warm and sunny day
When she heard what he had to say
All that sun soon went away
He broke her heart on a cold and windy day
He says it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
He's worried now
But he won't be worried long
And so he moves towards his sweet redeeming light
Shadows cast but none obscure his sight
And they wonder where he's going
While he's knelt before her throat
Refusing to go down without a fight
He says it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
And he's worried now
But he won't be worried long
And heavy on his gut
He feels he's being punished
For the bad things that he's done
Help him Jesus, help him
Send him down a sign
'Cause he feel's he is getting old before his time
And he's sitting at the table
The table he has set
He is begging for the courage to redeem some self respect
Help him Jesus, help him
Walk along the line
'Cause he feel's he is getting old before his time
He says it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
He's worried now
But he won't be worried long
He broke her heart on a warm and sunny day
Oh he broke her heart on a warm and sunny day
When she heard what he had to say
All that sun soon went away
He broke her heart on a cold and windy day
He says it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
He's worried now
But he won't be worried long
And so he moves towards his sweet redeeming light
Shadows cast but none obscure his sight
And they wonder where he's going
While he's knelt before her throat
Refusing to go down without a fight
He says it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
And he's worried now
But he won't be worried long
