ThatÂ?s To Hold Her copyright 2001 by Jeff Person
I should go and eat some food, not just lay around and brood
I just canÂ?t get that woman off my mind
She still wants to be my friend and go out with other men
Well I guess thatÂ?s fine
She told me from the start, she wasnÂ?t mine to own,
But in my arms, that woman felt all right
Now we donÂ?t live together, but she keeps on writing letters,
And the things she tells me get me all uptight.
Chorus:
SheÂ?s a Venus, sheÂ?s a Belle, and I love her all to hell,
But sometimes sheÂ?s a burden on my shoulders
She takes me up, drops me down, and as IÂ?m laying on the ground,
ThereÂ?s just one thing on my mind and thatÂ?s to hold her.
Changed my mail, tore out the phone. I just want to be alone,
But somehow sheÂ?s always on my mind.
Well IÂ?ve moved from town to town, but still sheÂ?s tracked me down.
WeeÂ?I guess thatÂ?s fine.
Chorus:
SheÂ?s a Venus, sheÂ?s a Belle, and I love her all to hell,
But sometimes sheÂ?s a burden on my shoulders
She takes me up, drops me down, and as IÂ?m laying on the ground,
ThereÂ?s just one thing on my mind and thatÂ?s to hold her.
I should go and eat some food, not just lay around and brood
I just canÂ?t get that woman off my mind
She still wants to be my friend and go out with other men
Well I guess thatÂ?s fine
She told me from the start, she wasnÂ?t mine to own,
But in my arms, that woman felt all right
Now we donÂ?t live together, but she keeps on writing letters,
And the things she tells me get me all uptight.
Chorus:
SheÂ?s a Venus, sheÂ?s a Belle, and I love her all to hell,
But sometimes sheÂ?s a burden on my shoulders
She takes me up, drops me down, and as IÂ?m laying on the ground,
ThereÂ?s just one thing on my mind and thatÂ?s to hold her.
