Won’t Let Loving

next song/previous song

Well I knew a little boy who made me feel O.K.
I was looking through my glasses in a rose coloured way
He was looking like a rainbow, he turned into a cloud of grey
And I could not believe my eyes
And it came as a real surprise
The things he told to me
And now I won't let loving get a hold on me

So I see another guy, I take a quick look
I'm feeling like a fish that's looking at another hook
If he's waiting for a bite, you can tell him it's a waste of time
Because you know where I draw the line
And though I wish that the sun would shine
When it's cold for me
But now I won't let loving get a hold on me

There's one in every million
With their hearts in the right places
And I take one look
But I race right past those friendly faces
I won't let loving get a hold on me

Well there's autumn in the air and I require a new leaf
There's summer in your smile, I treat you like a thief
There's winter in my heart, I feel that it's a real disgrace
When I see your sunny face
And I know that I can't replace
The things he stole from me
I won't let loving get a hold on me
