(i honestly don’t know who’s got which guitar on this one except for i’m the one with the wrong note at the beginning, but here’s the lyrics from slowjam)
… i keep trying to take a step forward, but you are a hundred steps back, you know? but, i’m trying to find a new attitude, but i am finding you are making me sarcastic. and i can’t get rid of you even when i want to ’cause you’re deadweight because i carry you with me, deadweight the way i can’t leave you behind, deadweight the way i will keep running to you… for help… which you know you’ll deny me.
… you know i am looking out at the new horizon and your face, babe, eclipses it black. i’m looking forward to a whole new life, and you refuse to let me have it. i can’t get rid of you even when i want to ’cause you’re deadweight the way you serve no purpose, you’re deadweight the way you drag me down, deadweight the way i will keep needing you so bad that i will keep you around… one, two three, one – a one, two three…
…cut you loose, you tie me down! and you’re just like a noose, you know you’re tied around my neck! and i just want to ditch you; you do me no good. does it make me a bitch now? i hope it does: i’m loving every minute of it – i’m loving every minute of it. i can’t cut you loose, you drag me down. and, you’re just like a noose – oh – you’re tied around my neck. and i just – wanna – ditch you… you do me no good! does it make me a bitch now? ’cause i’m loving every minute of it, loving every minute of it, i am loving… loving!… two! three! four!
deadweight the way i carry you with me, and you’re deadweight the way i can’t leave you behind, and you’re deadweight the way i keep running to you for help: oh, you deny me again! deadweight the way you serve no purpose ,and you’re deadweight the way you drag me down, deadweight the way i keep needing you so bad that i keep you… i keep you around, yeah.
