The Want Of A Nail (with Bobby Womack) Lyrics - Todd Rundgren

I? ve been wrong, I had plans so big 

But the devil? s in the details 

I left out one thing no one to love me 

No one to love me, no one to love 

For the want of a nail, the world was lost 

For the want of a nail, the world was lost, yeah 

World was lost, world was lost 

Yeah, for the want of a nail, the shoe was lost 

For the want of a shoe, the horse was lost 

For the want of a horse, the rider was lost 

For the want of a rider, the message was lost 

For the want of a nail, the world was lost 

For the want of a nail, the world was lost 

World was lost, world was lost

For the want of a rider, the message was lost 

For the want of a message, the battle was lost 

For the want of a battle, the war was lost 

For the want of a war, the kingdom was lost 

For the want of a nail, the world was lost 

For the want of a nail, the world was lost 

World was lost, world was lost 

I? ve been wrong, I had plans so big 

But the devil? s in the details 

I left out one thing, no one to love me 

No one to love me, no one, no one to love me 

I said no one to love 

You? re askin?, "What? s all this talk about horses and war?" 

Put yourself in the place of the man at the forge 

Day after day you live a life without love 

? Til the morning you can? t take it anymore and you don? t get up 

Photos 

Multiply it a billion times spread it all? round the world 

Put the curse of loneliness on every boy and every girl 

Until everybody? s kicking, everybody? s scratching 

Everything seems to fail and it was all for the want of a nail 

Tell me what else could the answer be, oh yeah 

Don? t hold back now 

For the want of a nail, the world was lost 

World was lost 

World was lost 

World was lost
