What's so wrong in holding on Did you have to lie Did you have to cry I don't know where I stand when you go running round But nothing in the world's going to hold you down I'm just trying to get a message through But where were you just when I needed you? And don't pretend you knew And don't pretend with a heart so cruel Why don't you tell it like it is? Why don't you tell it to this heart of mine? Why don't you tell it like it is? Tell it to this heart of mine I can remember when all we had was one another But you always wanted so much more You still refuse to even compromise You keep on telling, telling those lies
