Lyrics Squeeze – I Can’t Hold On

In the corner by the D.J. unit
The flag of beauty, my eyes salute it
She likes love by luck or labour
She likes love but not for favour

Can’t hold on
No, I can’t hold on

She keeps her lips on the straw she’s sucking
Looks up to me but her eyes say nothing
Love’s her stare, the steps to her heart
Love’s the climb
The bite not her bark

And I can’t hold on (can’t hold on)
No, I can’t hold on (can’t hold on)
No, I can’t hold on (can’t hold on)
No, I can’t hold on

I pour the milk into the cat’s saucer
I’m John Wayne as I’m walking towards her
She’d like to dance, but not this minute
She’s the fish I’d love to fillet

I can’t hold on
And I can’t hold on

I draw first with a stammer of verbal
We dance like pigeons forever in circle
She likes to dance, her cocktails shaken
She likes love and it’s temptation

And I can’t hold on (can’t hold on)
No, I can’t hold on (can’t hold on)
No, I can’t hold on (can’t hold on)
No, I can’t hold on

The lights flash green, my envy lights up

Oh, I can’t hold on (can’t hold on)
I can’t hold on (can’t hold on)
Can’t hold on (can’t hold on)
Can’t hold on (can’t hold on)
