There's been times when I'm shaken
Now I'm stronger I can't fall
Don't you know you were my haven
Through life's mess I had to crawl
Watching you watching me now
You're the one that's made me true
And if you hadn't been my backbone
I would have died in front of you
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
You're the one who pulled me back again
Showed your love and your strength as a friend
You're the one who pulled me back again
Showed your love and your strength as a friend
Everybody come back from the edge
Everybody's lesson shouldn't hurt so bad
Everybody listen what's been said
If you never learn you're gonna be misled
Thank you love for your wisdom
Thank you love for your time
Just between us you're my answer
You're the lifeline of my mind
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
You're the one who pulled me back again
Showed your love and your strength as a friend
You're the one who pulled me back again
Showed your love and your strength as a friend
Everybody come back from the edge
Everybody's lesson shouldn't hurt so bad
Everybody listen what's been said
If you never learn you're gonna be misled
Chorus (Fade)So I'll admit that it all started as a scam
'cos every girl wanted you and a year round tan
we know you're old but you're kind
you're rich and your heart is dicky
yes I knew that you wanted me
and he said
"hey love how are you fixed
we'll meet at ten past, now it's quarter to six
we'll spend the whole night making love on the sofa"
it may sound funny but he wasn't supposed to
and then we both settled down to our favourite meal
d'you fancy veal parmesan and a case of warm Chianti
pass my bag I picked up that bra you fancied
yes I knew that he wanted me
Oh we knew it couldn't last
and we should have left it long before
one great year and one for luck
and like all good things you soon want more
you were always so polite
I think I loved you
and I said
"hey love I'm making it easy on us
I'll leave, and a few of our dreams turn to dust
all night making love on your sofa"
and it may sound funny but it wasn't supposed to
summer '92 I remember is clearly
when he choked on the olive in his dry martini
there was dismay from friends he was close to
and it may sound funny but it wasn't supposed to be
