: :
I can t be held responsible for blown behavior

: :
I lost all contact with my only savior

No one locked me out because I failed to phone up
I can t bear to live forever like a loner

{Chorus}
: : : ...
Don t let go the coat
Don t let go the coat
Don t let go the coat
Don t let go the coat

It s easy to be sad when you lack a partner
But how would I react to a broken heart now
It ain t really true rock and roll unless I m
Hanging onto you and when I hold it next time

I won t let go the coat
Don t let go the coat
Don t let go the coat
Don t let go the coat

I try to explain but you never understand it
I need your body but I can t just demand it

: : : :
I won t let go like a stray at heel
(Never let him out of your sight)

: : : :
Every lonely wife knows the way I feel
(Don t let go tonight)

Don t let go the coat
Never let go the coat...

Your friends all pass for life is just a market
But you have to finish everything you started
So I live my life tearing down the runway
Sure to get the hang of hanging in there someday

Don t let go the coat...

Won t get no more chances
Ooh, forget the war dances
Don t let go...
Never let go the coat
Don t let go
Go blind and hang on
Don t try the slang, son
Never let go the coat, no, no
Don t let go...
