No use crying, talking to a stranger,
Naming the sorrow you've seen
Too many bad times, too many sad times
Nobody knows what you mean

[Chorus:]
But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows
And give them all to me
You would lose them, I know how to use them
Give them all to me

No use rambling, walking in the shadows,
Trailing a wandering star
No one beside you, no one to hide you
And nobody knows what you are

[Chorus]

No use gambling, running in the darkness,
Looking for a spirit that's free
Too many wrong times, too many long times
Nobody knows what you see

[Chorus]

No use roaming, going by the roadside,
Seeking a satisfied mind
Too many highways, too many byways,
And nobody's walking behind

[Chorus]
