I look at you all, see the love there that's sleepin' While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor, and I see it needs sweepin' Still my guitar gently weeps I don't know why nobody told you How to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you I look at the world, and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake, we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps I don't know how you were diverted You were perverted, too I don't know how you were inverted No one alerted you I look at you all, see the love there that's sleepin' While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor, and I see it needs sweepin' Still my guitar gently weeps
