"The World Will Put Its Arms Around You" lyrics

And now that you're standing at an empty well
You've withdrawn everything you could just to give it all to hell
There's nothing left to show for all your generosity
Except a desire to be held that's turning into a need

Throwing love around like a rag doll
Isn't going to get you what you want, but you can't stop
Someone ought to put you in your place
Or for Christ's sake pump on the brakes or turn the tap off

Throwing love around like a rag doll
Isn't going to get you what you want, but you can't stop
Someone ought to put you in your place
Or for Christ's sake pump on the brakes or turn the tap off

And now that you're lying in an empty bed
You've pulled your sheets back for so many, but no one has stayed
There's nothing left to show now for the accumulated time
But a growing resentment toward other people's lives

Throwing love around like a rag doll
Isn't going to get you what you want, but you can't stop
Someone ought to put you in your place
Or for Christ's sake pump on the brakes or turn the tap off

Throwing love around like a rag doll
Isn't going to get you what you want, but you can't stop
Someone ought to put you in your place
Or for Christ's sake pump on the brakes or turn the tap off

The world will put its arms around you
The world will put its arms around you
The world will put its arms around you
The world will put its arms around you
The world will put its arms around you
The world will put its arms around you

Throwing love around like a rag doll
Isn't going to get you what you want, but you can't stop
Someone ought to put you in your place
Or for Christ's sake pump on the brakes or turn the tap off

Throwing love around like a rag doll
Isn't going to get you what you want, but you can't stop
Someone ought to put you in your place
Or for Christ's sake pump on the brakes or turn the tap off

Throwing love around like a rag doll
Isn't going to get you what you want, but you can't stop
Someone ought to put you in your place
Or for Christ's sake pump on the brakes or turn the tap off

Throwing love around like a rag doll
Isn't going to get you what you want, but you can't stop
Someone ought to put you in your place
Or for Christ's sake pump on the brakes or turn the tap off

Throwing love around like a rag doll
Isn't going to get you what you want, but you can't stop
Someone ought to put you in your place
Or for Christ's sake pump on the brakes or turn the tap off
