Don't Hold Your Breath

(album: Remains - 1984)

You know I tried to learn a lot about you, babe
You know I tried so many times
But you just stare at me thinking to yourself
You know that poor boy, he's got a lot to learn

Baby, I love you ah-ha
Baby, I need you now oo-hoo
You say you don't love me ee-hee
But I want you anyhow

Baby, I love you ah-ha
Baby, I need you now oo-hoo
You say you don't love me-hee
But I want you anyhow

I hate to complicate your life in any way
I don't want you to have to think too much
I held the sad conclusion of leaving many things unsaid
This danger will drift completely out of touch

But pretty baby, I love you ah-ha
Baby, I need you now oo-hoo
You say you don't love me ee-hee
But I want you anyhow

Baby, I love you
Baby, I need you now
You say you don't love me-hee
But I want you anyhow

Our love is going wrong
Our love is going wrong
Don't hold your breath

Every wasted moment serves a tall purpose
I've seen so many people try to have a good time
Some revelation, at least I learned it well
Heaven's so much better once you've been in hell
