LYRICS
Hang on, she said
Hang on, she said
Hang on, she said
Hang on, she said
I am ignoring all your late night calls
I prefer to sleep than feel so small
I have this feeling
I'm about to crumble and fall
Are you going to the discotheque?
Cigarettes, perfume, drink and sweat
I prefer a good book and you in bed
Hang on, she said
Hang on, she said
Hang on, she said
Hang on, she said
Why are we fighting?
When we should be close
To a wedding
Which would be better than most
We should be in our hearts
Not at our throats, throats
Hang on, she said
Hang on, she said
Hang on, she said
Hang on, she said
Be a good friend tonight
Understand, see it from my side
Be a good friend tonight
One day you will see me in a better light
Now I can feel that you are mad with me
Is it justified or imaginary?
Tell me one day how you would like me to be
Living with you is a dangerous flame
You sweep me away and then you drive me insane
Keep your distance I'm looking for someone to blame
Be a good friend tonight
Understand, see it from my side
Be a good friend tonight
One day you will see me in a better light
In better light
Hang on, she said
Hang on, she said
Hang on, she said
Hang on, she said
Hang on
