I won't tell another nasty lie
No I won't deceive you
We're the best of secrets, you and I
I just can't seem to keep you
You're fadin' like a wasted wedding gown
So, honey, please forgive me
I'll draw another line upon your brow
'Cause you can't believe it
Well, save your money now, don't you call
I'll rip you up like an old rag doll
No second thoughts, just
Empty words, that's all
Fill me up, oh my darlin'
'Cause I'd rather have the pain
Keep me up in conversation all night long
Give me up, 'cause it ain't easy
Well I'd rather feel the rain
I'll be damned if you don't
Keep me hangin' on
I'll be damned if you don't
Keep me hangin' on
The dust has settled
Heavy on the shelf
Where your pictures framed
If you love me
Won't you keep it to yourself
You know I'll do the same
'Cause I crumble like
A million grains of sand
And I may never reach you
These driving winds,
They blow me from your hands
But I swear I need you
Well, save your money now, don't you call
I'll rip you up like an old rag doll
No second thoughts, just
Empty words, that's all
Fill me up, oh my darlin'
'Cause I'd rather have the pain
Keep me up in conversation all night long
Give me up, 'cause it ain't easy
Well I'd rather feel the rain
I'll be damned if you don't
Keep me hangin' on
I'll be damned if you don't
Keep me hangin' on
Well, save your money now, don't you call
I'll rip you up like an old rag doll
No second thoughts, just
Empty words, that's all
Fill me up, oh my darlin'
'Cause I'd rather have the pain
Keep me up in conversation all night long
Fill me up, oh my darlin'
'Cause I'd rather have the pain
Keep me up in conversation all night long
Give me up, 'cause it ain't easy
Well I'd rather feel the rain
I'll be damned if you don't
Keep me hangin' on
I'll be damned if you don't
Keep me hangin' on
I'll be damned if you don't
Keep me hangin' on
