[Verse 1]
You left a yearning in my heart
And I can't soothe it, naw, naw, baby
I can't find another thrill strong enough to remove it

[Chorus]
This heavy love
It's too high to get over
It's too deep to get under
It's too wide to get around
And it's weighing me down
This heavy love, ooo wee, baby
Too high to get over
Watch out, you might drown
(Too deep to get under)
It's too deep to get under, baby
It's too wide to get around
And it's weighing me down

[Verse 2]
Oh, why, tell me why
Have I been condemned to love only you?
Why, tell me why
Can't I spread my wings and fly above you
To the world beyond?
Ooh ooh
[Verse 3]
These memories that cloud my mind
I can't erase them - I've tried hard, baby
I can't find another love strong enough to replace them, oh, no

[Chorus]
Ooh, this heavy love
It's so high, baby
(To high to get over)
I can't get over, I've tried
Too deep to get under
You might drown
Too wide to get around, woo
And it's weighing me down

[Verse 2]
Oh, why, tell me why
Have I been condemned to love only you?
Why, somebody tell me why
Can't I spread my wings and fly above you
To the world beyond

[Chorus]
This heavy love, baby
It's too high to get over
You can't jump that high
(Too deep to get under)
Oh, baby, you might drowned
(Too wide to get around)
You can't get around, oh, baby
And it's weighing me down
It's weighing me down
You got my heart stopped, baby
(Weighing me down)
It's weighing me down, down
This heavy love, baby
Too high to get over
It's too deep to get under
It's too wide to get around, baby
And it's weighing me down
It's weighing me down
Oh, can't you come back and tell
(Weighing me down)
It's weighing me down

This heavy love, baby
It's too high to get over
It's too deep to get under
It's too wide to get around
And it's weighing me down
I want you to understand
(Weighing me down)
It's weighing me down
It's weighing, aaow!

This heavy love, baby
It's too high to get over
Oh, I can't jump that high, baby
(Too deep to get under)
Oh, it's too deep to get under
It's too wide to get around
And it's weighing me down
Oh, look like I got lead on my legs, baby
(Weighing me down)
Oh, don't wanna drown
This heavy love, baby
It's too high to get over
It's too deep to get under, no
It's too wide to get around, ooh
And it's weighing me down
(Weighing me)
Ooh, don't hurt me, baby

With this heavy love, no, baby
It's too high to get over
