That
FM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the words she says turn out lies
And desperation fills your eyes
Hold her in your arms
and don't let go
Can you taste defeat
Will you lose the game
Fight till you win
Don't give in
Hold her in your arms and tell her so
That girl
Always takes the best of you
That girl
Will you ever let her go
When you hear her calling out your name
Thinks about you
Cries without you
Hold her in your arms and don't let go
You've tried so many times before
Smell the fear as she closed the door
Just to hold her in your arms once more
Chorus
That girl
Always takes the best of you
That girl
Will you ever let her go
That girl
Can't you see she's using you
That girl
Will you ever let her go
When the words she says turn out lies
Desperation fills your eyes
Hold her in your arms
Don't let go
Don't ever let her go
Chorus
That girl
That girl
That girl
That girl
That girl




That girl
Don't you ever let her go

I was a young married man in the late 80s and into rock music, always looking for new music, new bands to listen to, back when Our Price was THE record shop of choice. Heard this track somewhere, I can't remember where but anyway, bought the album with this on and all these years later still love this band !!

80’s the best! Lovely song

One of the songs that take me back to 1986 live in Germany. Seems they forgot the immense Keyboard works in this version ...
