Lyrics
Hold my hand
And my head too
And understand, I need you
There comes a day
When my eyes open
and I see things slip away
So hold my hand
And my head too
You understand
Why I need you
------
The light’s afraid
The heatwave’s over
and the rains, they’ve come again
So what’s to do? What can we do?
The others laugh and drink
While i just stare at you
So hold my hand and my head too
And understand, that I need you
I need you
I need you
Ooh i don’t ever want to be
Taken for granted by you
Somethings are bought, and they’re paid for
We’re paying our rent, nothing more
We both need to know what you came for
It was clear as you walked through the door
Ooh i don’t ever want to be
Taken for granted by you
