You Can't Hang On

(Norro Wilson - Carmol Taylor)



Well, here I sit, there you go again

I've taken as much of this as I can stand

All I ever hear is what you're gonna do

But what I want most I never get from you.



I need a man to stay at home with me

A man that'll give me love and the kind I need

You ain't gonna keep on treatin' me like you do

So listen close it's the last time I tell you.



Well, you can't hang on to me just a lookin' on

You gotta give a woman love that's strong

You gotta kiss me in the mornin' an' squeeze me at night

Do a good job, make everything all right.



You gotta love me strong and love me long

You'll find out that your baby's goin' wrong

If you got any feelin' for this woman at home

You can't hang on, lookin' on.

Yes, if you got any feelin' for this woman at home

You can't hang on, lookin' on...
