Hold Tight Lyrics by Ratt

Collage

1997

How can there be so much pain
Just livin' day to day it's easy
How can you be so sincere
When you're whispering in my ear you're crazy

Uptown squeeze traffic lust
It's paradise it's lucky dust
Never bitter or out of luck
Double or nothin's hard enough
Where urban voices speak in tongues
Hold tight let's fall in love

I thought I knew you better
Yes I thought I did
I hope your dreams comes true
I hope they come true
We're in for nasty weather
Yeah I know it too
When I'm alone with you

How can you cry all these tears
When you're reeling in them years
How can you be so out of mind
When you eat me up alive

Uptown squeeze traffic lust
It's paradise it's lucky dust
Never bitter or out of luck
Double or nothing's hard enough
Where urban voices speak in tongues
Hold tight let's fall in love
Oh yeah

I thought I knew you better
Yes I thought I did
I hope your dreams come true
I hope they come true
We're in for nasty weather
Yeah I know it too
When I'm alone with you

I thought I knew you better
Yes I thought I did
I hope your dreams come true
I hope they come true
We're in for nasty weather
Yeah I know it too
When I'm alone with you
