| Reference: Yes, we can Reference information: The Beatles: Boy, you gotta carry that weight / Carry that weight a long time / Boy, you gonna carry that weight / Carry that weight a long time… -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2016-09-22 15:39:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You might also consider "bear the weight of" (see Google for usage examples). However, as usual, we need more context- for example who says it, why, when and to whom - otherwise any suggestions will be shots in the dark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcOK96pBSvU |
