while my guitar gently weeps

i look at you all see the love there that's sleeping

while my guitar gently weeps

i look at the floor and i see it needs sweeping

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 sleeping

while my guitar gently weeps

look at you all. still my guitar gently weeps.
