Story Behind The Song
Peer pressure in song form.
Song Description
I wanted to do an homage to Nick Lowe, so I did this instead. (!) I say that because I fell far short but I had to try. I have always thought "Labor of Lust" has so many great gems on it. Every song, really.

Lyrics
I'm not gonna make you dance
Listen to your favorite band
I'm just gonna hold your hand
I'm not gonna make you dance
I'm not gonna make you
I'm not gonna make you say
Anything you don't want to
That you're mine or that you're blue
I'm not gonna make you say "What's new?", but
CH: I am here holding on
Let's be clear, right or wrong
You can steer but I will choose the song
I'm not gonna make you laugh
Tell your favorite joke again
Or the story how you then
I'm not gonna make you laugh
But I'm gonna try a bit
Just a little dab will do
Cuz you know that I love you
I am gonna try a bit and get with you, cuz (CH)
BR: This is what you want to hear
It was handed down from on high
And they would never tell a lie
I'm not gonna hold you back
'Only gonna hold you up
'Always here to fill your cup
I'm not gonna hold you back
I am not but I could be
Worried what you think about
My poor tv when I shout
I am not but I could be worried, but
(CH)
You can steer but I will sing the
You can steer but I will sing the song
