It's harder to hold 

than to touch 

and when you leave 

with her on your arm 

your touch will do so much harm 



the further you go is the further she'll follow 

and it's harder to love 

then to leave and when you disappear 

the very next day 



she'll want you more 

more than ever before 

so just string her along 

your touch will do so much harm 

and you've got no charm 



he has advantages over her, 

and he knows it. 

She's got bandages everywhere, 

and she shows them 

does she care 

who knows 

when you're gone 

because it's harder to love.
