Hard To Hold

Bop 'til you drop
In the hot city
Keep on working day and night
Don't stop 'til you get what you want

Bop 'til you drop
In the hot city
Burn the candle, burn it bright
Love will have to wait

You wake up wired and draw on your makeup
And the city breathes
And the city jumps to life
Lately it seems
Your time is all used up
Chasing dreams
Of money and the good life

But there is something you've been thinking of
Lately you're feeling the power of love
Everybody says it's so hard to hold
The alarm rings
You gotta get up, you gotta get up

Bop 'til you drop
In the hot city
Keep on working day and night
Don't stop 'til you get what you want

Bop 'til you drop
'til you sit pretty
Burn the candle, burn it bright
Love will have to wait

People say you're the lucky one
But you don't believe it
And you want to stop
And you want to take some time
To sus' out a feeling and look for a reason
And the flesh is weak
But the spirit is willing

'cause there is something you've been thinking of
Lately you're feeling the power of love
Everybody says it's so, so hard to hold
The alarm rings
You gotta get up, you gotta get up

Bop 'til you drop
In the hot city
Keep on working day and night
Don't stop 'til you get what you want

Bop 'til you drop
'til you sit pretty
Burn the candle, burn it bright
Love won't, love won¹t wait

There is something you've been thinking of
Lately you're feeling the power of love
Everybody says it's so hard to hold
The alarm rings
You gotta get up, you gotta get up

Bop 'til you drop
In the hot city
Keep on working day and night

I think that it's high time we had a talk
I think that we're making a big mistake
I've been feeling lately the magic is gone
Are we just together for convenience sake, baby

I don't believe it (feeling)
I don't think that's true (tied down)
It'll just pass if we allow it to (need to break free)
It's just a stage we're going through (they say clean cuts)
I think you're just restless for something new (heal much faster)

Baby, feeling like we pay our dime
And all we get in return
Is a piece of each other's time

Are we just taxi dancing
Lost somewhere in a slow dance for two
And the band that was playing
Has finally stopped playing our favorite song

Are we just taxi dancing
You're paying for me and i'm paying for you
And are we holding on to a feeling with desperation

Don't know if you're right
Don't know if you're wrong
Seems to me we haven't danced for long

Don't make it hard (i won't)
Don't make it easy (hold you)
We'll just walk away (if you)
At the end of the song (must go)

Baby, put one last nickel in the jukebox
Give that love we once felt
Just one final spin around

'cause we're just taxi dancing
Lost somewhere in a slow dance for two
And the band that was playing
Has finally stopped playing our favorite song
And we're just dancing

And the band that was playing
Has finally stopped playing our favorite song
Are we just taxi dancing
You're paying for me and i'm paying for you
And are we holding on to each other in desperation

Taxi dancing

I can see the path you're cutting
It cost me a little piece of my heart
I can see the doors you're shutting
'cause they were open at the start

Baby loving you has been hard on me
You're such a tough little sister
Just looking for mr. right
On the wrong side of town

You better love somebody
It's late
You better love somebody
Don't wait
You better love somebody
Don't tempt fate
You're gonna pull you just a little too far
One night

Your eyes are wild, your skin so white
You're undernourished and overfed
She's got the teeth, she knows how to bite
'cause when you bit i bled
You got the perfect image
Of the perfect man
You're a tough little sister
But you'll settle for a mister tonight
But you're running out of time

You better love somebody
It's late
You better love somebody
Don't wait
You better love somebody
Don't tempt fate
You're gonna pull you just a little too far
One night

I'm only saying what i feel
You think i'm wrong i know
You thought i was sleeping at the wheel
I thought that you were driving


You better love somebody
You better love somebody

You better love somebody
It's late
You better love somebody
Don't wait
You better love somebody
Don't tempt fate
They're gonna pull you just a little too far
One night
