Dr. Syntax & Pete Cannon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop what you're doing and come on home
I can't hold on
I can't hold on
I get a real good feeling
Talking to you on the phone
She said daddy, don't you worry, don't you cry
You know I love you baby, said you're my heart's desire
I can't hold on
I get a real good feeling
Talking to you on the phone
[Guitar solo]
She said, daddy don't you worry, don't you cry
You know I love you baby, said you're my heart's desire
I can't hold on
I can't hold on
I get a real good feeling
Talking to you on the phone
Talk to me baby
Talk to me baby
Talk to me baby
Talk to me baby
I get a real good feeling
Talking to you on the phone
[Guitar solo]
