To Have and Not to Hold
To have and not to hold
So hot, yet so cold
My heart is in your hand
And yet you never stand
Close enough for me to have my way
To love but not to keep
To laugh, not to weep
Your eyes, they go right through
And yet you never do
Anything to make me want to stay
Like a moth to a flame, only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba, what can I do?
Ba ba da ba ba ba, I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba, I've been told
You're to have, not to hold (Āhāhu-purusākāram)
(Āhāhu-purusākāram)
To look but not to see
To kiss but never be
The object of your desire
I'm walking on a wire
And there's no one at all to break my fall
Like a moth to a flame, only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba, what can I do?
Ba ba da ba ba ba, I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba, I've been told
You're to have, not to hold (Āhāhu-purusākāram)
You're to have, not to hold (Āhāhu-purusākāram)
You're to have... Not to hold
Like a moth to a flame, only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba, what can I do?
Ba ba da ba ba ba, I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba, I've been told
You're to have, not to hold (Āhāhu-purusākāram)
You're to have, not to hold (Āhāhu-purusākāram)
You're to have, not to hold
You're to have... Not to hold
To break my heart
(Āhāhu-purusākāram)
So hot, yet so cold
My heart is in your hand
And yet you never stand
Close enough for me to have my way
To love but not to keep
To laugh, not to weep
Your eyes, they go right through
And yet you never do
Anything to make me want to stay
Like a moth to a flame, only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba, what can I do?
Ba ba da ba ba ba, I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba, I've been told
You're to have, not to hold (Āhāhu-purusākāram)
(Āhāhu-purusākāram)
To look but not to see
To kiss but never be
The object of your desire
I'm walking on a wire
And there's no one at all to break my fall
Like a moth to a flame, only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba, what can I do?
Ba ba da ba ba ba, I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba, I've been told
You're to have, not to hold (Āhāhu-purusākāram)
You're to have, not to hold (Āhāhu-purusākāram)
You're to have... Not to hold
Like a moth to a flame, only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba, what can I do?
Ba ba da ba ba ba, I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba, I've been told
You're to have, not to hold (Āhāhu-purusākāram)
You're to have, not to hold (Āhāhu-purusākāram)
You're to have, not to hold
You're to have... Not to hold
To break my heart
(Āhāhu-purusākāram)
