to have and not to hold
so hot, yet so cold
my heart is in your hand
and yet you never stand
close enough for me to have my way
to love but not to keep
to laugh, not to weep
your eyes, they go right through
and yet you never do
anything to make me want to stay
like a moth to a flame
only i am to blame
ba ba da ba ba ba
what can i do?
ba ba da ba ba ba
i go straight to you
ba ba da ba ba ba
i`ve been told
you`re to have, not to hold
to look but not to see
to kiss but never be
the object of your desire
i`m walking on a wire
and there's no one at all
to break my fall
you`re to have, not to hold
you`re to have, not to hold
you`re to have, not to hold
you`re to have, not to hold
you`re to have, not to hold
to break my heart
I need to be cleansed
It's time to make amends
For all of the fun
The damage is done
And I feel diseased
I'm down on my kness
And I need forgiveness
Someone to bear witness
To the goodness within
Beneath the sin
Although I may flirt
With all kinds of dirt
To the point of disease
Now I want release
From all this decay
Take it away
And somewhere
There's someone who cares
With a heart of gold
To have and to hold
