Second Hand Hangups

Hollies · Other Songs - Hollies

It's been such a long time

since I had words with you

Tell me what you've been doing

Tell me baby what's new



I've been hanging 'round with our old friends

Getting a line on what's happening with your game

They all know something about you

but their stories all are the same



Look out girl You're gonna get caught ooh

Getting caught means I'm gonna lose you

Get on the right track

Then I'll have you back



Second hand hangups don't get me down

This ain't my first time around

I'm not disillusioned

I'm a member of the union

membership paid done my dues



chorus



verse 1



Tell me baby what's new
