| 作曲 : 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 | |
| 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... |
