Wet Wet Wet - Hold Back The River lyrics

Stop your pretending<br>Listen to what I've got to say<br>How your head's went away<br>Only here for a day<br>And that grave I just made<br>Is for me when I get paid<br><br>Won't you wait a while<br>Move to the blue<br>Sometimes people don't want to say<br>Old time dancers don't die that way<br>See that grave I've just made<br>It's for me when I get paid<br><br>Somebody's gotta hold back the river<br>Somebody like you<br><br>Do you love and surrender<br>Sometimes I don't feel I can remember<br>I think it's fair to mention<br>About the days when I get paid<br><br>Somebody's gotta hold back the river<br>Somebody like you<br>Somebody's gotta hold back the river<br>Somebody like you<br><br>I want a little loving<br>I told you all to listen<br>But you never liked what you heard<br>I take what I am given<br>This may sound absurd<br>I share a double vision<br>That started the transition<br><br>Hey where's jimmy jazz<br>Steady on the scale<br><br>I told you to listen<br>I told you all to listen<br><br>Somebody's gotta hold back the river<br>Somebody like you<br>Somebody's gotta hold back the river<br>Somebody like you<br><br>You know that somebody<br>You know that somebody<br>You know that somebody<br>But it ain't you
