Holding On To You

Lyricist:Terence Trent D'arby

I left the East Side for a West Coast beauty
A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses
She was down by street decree
She swore she'd pull my best years out of me

Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty
A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes
Her face was my favorite magazine
Her body was my favorite book to read

They say that all poets
Must have and unrequited love
As all lovers
Must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you
Means letting go on pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain

Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you

I left the rough side for a seaside baby
A chamomile smile that pouts on cue
For every moment I breathe her sigh
Her bosom contains my sweet alibi

In an emotional mist she breathes in fog
And breathes it out as garden flowers
Why me of all the tough talking boys?
I guess, she heard my heartbeat through the noise

They say that all poets
Must have an unrequited love
As all lovers, yes it is
Must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you
Means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of the rain

Holding on to you
Means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you

Well, always have people say
They say that all poets
Must have an, an unrequited love
As all lovers I'm sure
Must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you
Means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you

I left the East Coast for a West Coast beauty
A woman who read my thoughts like kisses
She was down, down by street decree
She swore, she'd pull my best years out of me

Fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas
Goodbye Picasso, hello Dali
The soil is fertile where her footsteps trod
She's my new religion she's all I got

They say that all poets
Must have an unrequited love
As all lovers I'm sure
Must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you
Means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain

Holding on to you
Means letting sorrows heal
It means letting go
It means letting go of pain
It means letting go of pain

It means letting go of tears
It means letting go of rain
It means turning the pains
Letting go of pain

Yes, it means, yes, it means
Yes, it means
It means letting go of pain
Letting go of tears
Letting go of tears
