Well, hold it right there

You're going nowhere

Until I tell you that you can

It wasn't me that told you

I didn't love you, so you

Can just sit down and hold my hand

There's some explaining

I'm anticipating how you're

Gonna let me down easy

Do everything you can to please me



You better hold me awhile

'Til my eyes are dry

I think I have the right

But it may take me awhile

Till I get over you



Do you think it's easy

To just forget my feelings

And smile and turn the other cheek

'Cause you're not stimulated

And I was temporary

Until you found the girl you'd keep

Years ago I told you

If you wanted to go you could

Well, I've changed my mind

I didn't know you'd go I'm a little behind



Hold me awhile

'Til my eyes are dry

I think I have the right

But it may take me awhile

Till I get over you



Years ago I told you

If you wanted to go you could

Well, I've changed my mind

I didn't know you'd go I'm a little behind



Hold me awhile 

'Til my eyes are dry

I think I have the right

But it may take me awhile

Till I get over, till I get over you

Till I get over you
