《 John Mellencamp - Hand To Hold On To 》

《 John Mellencamp - Hand To Hold On To 》

You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends,

Spin in the middle when your troubles begin,

Take it nice and easy and always pretend

That you're cool...so cool...so cool.

Say, "I'munna hold onto that a while and I will and I'll be tame",

Talk like a jerk on an educated brain,

Be an old girl drivin' the young boys insane,

Be a joker, a preacher...it does not matter.

[Chorus:]

Everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Don't need to be no strong hand

Don't need to be no rich hand

Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to

Havin' good luck with your financial situation,

Play the ponies, be the president of the United Nation,

Go to work and be a Hollywood stand,

Drive your four wheel drive right into the mud, but

[Chorus:]

And in those hours when you're alone,

And there's nobody there except yourself,

I know it...you want to pick up the phone,

And say, "Talk to me, talk to me, somebody please

Talk to me!" Yeah!

Ohh, yeah!

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
