Hanging Onto Your Love
Take That Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when we talk can you understand my feelings
And understand it hurts to be without you
Never prepared, never know what's going wrong
I'm loosing though, I always thought this love was so strong
So alone, so lost in the dark,
So hurt, cause you will always have a place in my heart
Hangin' onto your love
Hangin' onto your love
Hangin' onto your love
Hangin' onto your love, I need it
Let's take a walk and reminisce about
The feelings we used to feel
Just stay the word and I'll be back for good my baby
I'll be back to give you girl what you deserve
Don't say too much, did I try to rule your life
Did the love we had between us
Miss the road to paradise
Can we try again, can we chance it one more time
Can the ecstasy we found here
Be re-claimed as yours and mine
Hangin' onto your love
Hangin' onto your love
Hangin' onto your love
Hangin' onto your love
