I don't know why you moan and pout All the world lies at your feet Like a child you sit and wonder, who's to blame for your defeat I have tried to give you comfort I have lent you a patient ear Had I known why you're complaining, I'd have shown you trouble and fear Gonna take you to the cliff side on a mountain so high That when you look down, lord you'll shake and tremble Afraid to die, afraid to die Gonna send you the devil when your nightmares arrive Then when you wake up, lord you'll feel glad to be alive, to be alive I don't know why you moan and pout All the world lies at your feet Like a child you sit and wonder, who's to blame for your defeat I have tried to give you comfort I have lent you a patient ear Had I known why you're complaining, I'd have shown you trouble and fear Gonna show you the playground of misery and despair That you might touch a helpless hand with some compassion And learn to care, yes learn to care
