Lyrics
Well, I don't need too much to keep me going in this world
Expressing contentment with simple needs to navigate life.
My sweet woman's love and a friend or two
Highlighting the importance of love and a few close friends.
We all need someone to lean on to, from time to time
Emphasizing the universal need for support from others occasionally.
You can lean on me and I will lean on you
Mutual reliance and support between individuals.
When I'm burdened, you can lift it
Offering assistance to alleviate burdens when they arise.
Pull me up, in the nick of time
Being there to help in crucial moments or emergencies.
When I'm freezing, you keep me warm
Symbolizing emotional warmth and comfort in difficult times.
When I'm drowning
Leaving a moment of suspense or vulnerability.
Throw me a line
Seeking help and support when facing challenges.
In this world there ain't too much to hold on to these days
Reflecting on the transitory nature of things to hold on to.
It's easy to get caught up in the fray
Acknowledging the ease of being consumed by the chaos of life.
Well, we don't need to worry about falling behind
Encouraging a laid-back approach to life rather than constant competition.
If you don't treat life
Not letting life become a stressful competition.
Like running a race
Metaphorically advising against approaching life like a race.
When I'm burdened, you can lift it
Reiterating the availability of support during difficult times.
Pull me up, in the nick of time
Highlighting timely assistance in moments of need.
When I'm freezing, you keep me warm
Emphasizing the comforting role of others during cold or harsh times.
When I'm drowning
Introducing a metaphorical drowning scenario, indicating intense struggles.
Throw me a line
Repeating the plea for assistance during a metaphorical drowning.
Well, when I'm burdened, you can lift it
Reiterating the availability of help during burdensome moments.
Pull me up, in the nick of time
Emphasizing the timely nature of support in critical situations.
Well, when I'm freezing, you keep me warm
Stressing the warmth provided by others in times of freezing or hardship.
When I'm drowning
Continuing the metaphor of drowning, seeking a lifeline.
Throw me a line
Repeating the plea for assistance during a metaphorical drowning.
When I'm drowning
Echoing the urgency of seeking help in a drowning scenario.
Throw me a line
Reiterating the plea for assistance during a metaphorical drowning.
