lyrics

Grab and Hold

You can stay at my house, babe
You can borrow my keys
You can have anything you want
But you won’t have me

I don’t need promises on paper
I don’t need a guarantee
I don’t need anything at all
Still you won’t have me

Why do you always think I grab and hold?
I know you’re not up for keeping
Why do you always have to be so cold?
Can’t you see my love’s not sleeping

You can walk in my life, babe
We could find something to do
We could have anything you want
Why can’t I have you?

Why do you always think I grab and hold?
I know you’re not up for keeping
Why do you always have to be so cold?
Can’t you see my love’s not sleeping

Then she says, “Stop! You don’t see my point of view.
I’ve got a lover of my own, I don’t want to be untrue
If we had met in another place and time maybe I could be with you
If we had met in another place and time I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you.”

So why do you always have to grab and hold?
You know you’re not up for keeping
Why do you always make me look so cold?
Can’t you see my love’s not sleeping

(Jan Gregor)
