I have this memory
Of how you couldn't
Keep your hands off of me
Now you walk on by
Have I done something wrong?
I lie awake and watch you sleep
Sleep ain't easy for a man who thinks
That making love is just a memory
But I'm hangin' on
I'm hangin' on even though I lose my grip
'Cause you tell me "No"
When all I want is love I've needed for so long
I'm hangin' on, hoping you
Decide you love me like you used to do
How long can memory alone
Keep hangin' on?
In my mind I'm seeing you
And the tempting
Way you used to do
A come on look
That sent cold chills all over me
There's that chill, I feel it now
It's thrilling but it hurts somehow
I'm hangin' on just to hang around
And it's misery
I'm hangin' on even though I lose my grip
'Cause you tell me "No"
When all I want is love I've needed for so long
I'm hangin' on, hoping you
Decide you love me like you used to do
How long can memory alone
Keep hangin' on?
