Karaoké Holding on to You Sananda Maitreya

I left the East side for a West Coast beauty

A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses

She was down by street decree

She swore she'd pull my best years out of me hah

Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty

A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes

Her face was my favorite magazine

Her body was my favorite book to read

They say that all poets must have an unrequited love

Huh

As all lovers must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you means letting go of pain

Means letting go of tears

Means letting go of rain

Means letting go of what's not real

Holding on to you woah

I left the rough side for a seaside baby

A chamomile smile that pouts on cue hah

For every moment I breathe her sigh

Her bosom contains my sweet alibi yeah

In an emotional mist she breathes in fog

And breathes it out as garden flowers

Why me of all the tough talking boys

I guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise

They say that all poets must have an unrequited love

Yes indeed uh

As all lovers must have thought provoking fears

Hah

But holding on to you means letting go of pain

Means letting go of tears

Means letting go of the rain

Holding on to you huh means letting sorrows heal

Means letting go of what's not real yeah

Holding on to you yeah

Woohoo

Woah I heard some people say

Hah that all poets must have an

An unrequited love

As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears yeah

But holding on to you means letting sorrows heal

Means letting go of what's not real

Holding on to you

I left the East Coast for a West Coast beauty

A woman who burned my thoughts like kisses

She was down

Down by street decree

She swore she'd pull my best years out of me

Fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas huh

Goodbye Picasso

Hello Dali

The soil is fertile where her footsteps trod

She's my new religion

She's all I got

They say that all poets must have an unrequited love, yes they do

Hah

As all lovers

I'm sure must have thought provoking fears

Yeah

But holding on to you hah means letting go of pain

Means letting go of tears
