Roy Thomas Baker - You Can't Hold On Too Long lyrics

I can't put out your fire, I know it's too late I can't be up for hire, it's not my best trait The gallow gla** is cracking, it's starting to smash How can you cry without blinking a lash You're feeling cross and wavy on the edge of the cuff You're pushing and popping, you don't get enough You wish that it was over, you never slow down You're looking for kicks, there's nothing around You can't hold on too long, it's alright You can't hold on too long, it's alright You're surrounded by the laughing boys They puncture your style They send for their bandanas, you try for their smile You'd like to come in colors, you don't know which one You can't be too choosy, it's just for fun You can't hold on too long, it's alright You can't hold on too long, it's alright
