Hang On In There Baby
Curiosity Killed the Cat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now that we’ve caressed
A kiss so warm and tender
I can’t wait ’til we’ve reached
That sweet moment of surrender
We’ll hear the thunder roar
Feel the lightening strike
At a point we both decided to meet
The same time tonight

Hang on in there baby
Hang on in there darling
I’m gonna give you more
Than you ever dreamed possible

Don’t be afraid
Sweet virgin of the world
We can’t help but make it
Because there’s true love between us girl
So let us touch that cloud
Every girl dreams of
Oh we’re amost there darling
We’re truly making love

Hang on in there baby
Please don’t let me down
Please don’t destry this new joy we’ve found

What’s that now baby
What’s that you say
Something eating at you
And it’s about to get away
Don’t fight it baby open up the door
’cause that’s the key to freedom
That we’ve both been working for
Let it go baby, let it go honey
Oh right there, right there
Baby don’t you move it anywhere

Go baby, let it go honey
Oh right there, baby don’t you move it
Don’t you dare
Hang on in there bay
Hang on in there doll




I’m gonna give you more
Than you ever dreamed possible
