You Can't Hold On Too Long - The Cars I can't put out your fire I know it's too late I can't be up for hire It's not my best trait The gallow glass is crackin' It's startin' to smash How can you cry Without blinkin' a lash You're feelings cross And wavy on the edge of the cuff You're pushin' and poppin' You don't get enough You wish that it was over You never slow down You're lookin' for kicks There's nothing around You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You're surrounded by the laughin' boys They puncture your style And they send for their bandanas And you try for their smile You'd like to come in colors You don't know which one You can't be too choosy It's just for fun You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright You can't hold on too long It's alright
