Song Lyrics

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

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 'n' 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
Don't let go the coat
Don't let go the coat
Don't 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
Don't let go the coat
Never let go the coat
Don't let go the coat

Don't let go the coat
Don't let go the coat
(Don't get no more chances)
(Ooo forget the war dances)
Don't let go the coat
(Don't let go, don't let go)
Don't let go the coat
Don't let go the coat
...
