You Can't Hang on Lyrics

(Norro Wilson - Carmol Taylor)

Well, here I sit, there you go again
I've taken as much of this as I can stand
All I ever hear is what you're gonna do
But what I want most I never get from you.

I need a man to stay at home with me
A man that'll give me love and the kind I need
You ain't gonna keep on treatin' me like you do
So listen close it's the last time I tell you.

Well, you can't hang on to me just a lookin' on
You gotta give a woman love that's strong
You gotta kiss me in the mornin' an' squeeze me at night
Do a good job, make everything all right.

You gotta love me strong and love me long
You'll find out that your baby's goin' wrong
If you got any feelin' for this woman at home
You can't hang on, lookin' on.

Well you can't hang on to me just a lookin' on
You gotta give a woman love that's strong
You gotta kiss me in the mornin' an' squeeze me at night
Do a good job, make everything all right.

You gotta love me strong and love me long
You'll find out that your baby's goin' wrong
If you got any feelin' for this woman at home
You can't hang on, lookin' on.

Yes, if you got any feelin' for this woman at home
You can't hang on, lookin' on...
