I'm lost again and I'm on the run
Looking for love in a sad song
With your avenger eyes and your cat-like ways
I can hold you, you are a fool for me to be cruel
I'm leaning on this bar listening to you sing
And your sad song rings in my ears and I start to cry
He's searching
She's showing
See him held in a deep, deep spell
He knows she's glowing
I can find within my mind a way to go
I can look deep into your life and shout
"Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me"
I hear the saxophone and it tears my soul
And we're feeling old, feeling so cold
She is the torch and she is the theme
She could be a dream but oh boy is she real
Try to avoid her eyes, to avoid her words
They will hit you with all that you feel
He's searching
She's showing
See him held in a deep, deep spell
He knows she's glowing
I can find within my mind a way to go
I can look deep into your life and shout
"Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me"
When we first met you looked a lot like Billie Holiday
That blue backless dress, the one with
The sequins and the single white gardenia
I was probably drunk and had no make-up on
Ah, but you had such style
Oh really?
And those words you sang in it was my life story
Oh, fine, sorry
I remember I drank too much and made a fool of myself
You looked okay to me but when you get
Like me then you know you're in trouble
I wanted to grab you and kiss you but I thought you'd hit me
Too right, baby
But those words just kept
Calling
Calling
Calling
Calling
Calling
You're lost again and you're on the run
Looking for love in a sad song
With my avenger eyes and my cat-like ways
I can hold you, you are a fool for me to be cruel
He's searching
She's showing
See him held in a deep, deep spell
He knows she's glowing
I can find within my mind a way to go
I can look deep into your life and shout
"Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me"
