lyrics

I WON’T HOLD YOUR HAND

I won’t ask you for the truth
Cos I know you’ll only lie
I won’t buy your flowers cos
You’ll only let them die
I won’t try to hold you
In the rain and in the cold
I won’t love you when you’re
Wrinkled, crippled, sick and old

It ain’t hard to live without it
I’m not gonna lie about it

And yet I see you grasping
Please understand
I can’t make it any clearer
I won’t hold your hand

I won’t take you to the films
Cos you’ll only spoil the end
I won’t call you baby
But I’ll try to call you friend

Sadly I must admit it
You’re really quite persistent

And as we’re walking you make
That same demand
I don’t know what else to tell you
I won’t hold your hand

If I won’t be yours
You won’t be mine
That’s fine
If you won’t ask
Then I won’t say
Okay
If I won’t be yours
You won’t be mine
That’s fine
Well I don’t mind now
Either way
Okay

I can’t give eternal love
Cos you’re only gonna die
Nothin lasts forever babe
But it ain’t to cause to cry

Then as your grow ecstatic
Your hands get real erratic

You got a plan for contact
But please understand
No matter what you ask me
I won’t hold your hand
I won’t hold your hand
I won’t hold your hand
