Michael McDonald - (I Hang) On Your Every Word lyrics

(Michael McDonald & Amy Holland)

So easily said in passing

Always followed by some way out

You got me so dizzy

I'm wondering what it's all about

All this talk about us and the future

How real is this future you see

Maybe love's just a word thrown around

But it's important to me

Darlin' I've heard it all before

But I can't give up

Till I know for sure

[Chorus:]

Oh, can't you see I hang on your every word

This ain't no game I'm playing

I really love you

Don't promise nothin' that you can't live up to

If you're so worried about my feelings

Help me get to the bottom of this

I've listened to all your excuses

It's the truth I miss

I know you're thinking I'll always be here

However long that I'll be waiting for you

I know you think my love is endless

Well, girl that just ain't true

Darlin' I've heard it all before

But I can't give up

Till I know for sure

[Chorus]
