Your body's got a hold on me
It's hard to understand
How your flesh can take control of me
When I don't care that much for you
You're good for only nights
When I'm lonely with no place to go
Long as you leave before light
And I want to know why
Something's holding on
(You'd really rather be alone)
Something's holding on
(He don't want you for his very own)
You really whet my appetites
And stimulate my glands
As long as what you wear looks right
And you keep to the weight I choose
Under covers we hide
Getting in to the real thing baby
Faking love, we get tight
But I still want to know why
Something's holding on
Something's holding on
Something else is holding on
It's holding on too strong
It's holding on too long
Something's holding on
Something's holding on
Must be love that's holding on
But if you cut off all my fun
I'll be telling you, "so long"
