Hold Her Tight Songtext
von The Correspondents

A praying mantis prays for prey
A lover to decapitate
And, no, I don′t believe in fate
But, oh, I think she's found a mate

It could′ve happened anywhere
A carpark or a square
She doesn't care for scenery
When you commit your crimes

She's got you, so hold her tight
How have you ended with her tonight?
Make your morning coffee, make up your lies
Try not to look your wife in the eye

For her to pull and twist her hair
For you to hold your breath and stare
For ride the luck for far too long
The world that you know it is gone


In preparation for your sin
You struggle to pull off your ring
You pocket it and force a smile
She knows you′re a cliché

She′s got you, so hold her tight
How have you ended with her tonight?
Make your morning coffee, make up your lies
Try not to look your wife in the eyes

She's got you, so hold her tight
How have you ended with her tonight?
Make your morning coffee, make up your lies
How have you ended with her tonight?

You split your women into two
Angels first then prostitutes
Your wife is going to fly away
Your lover′s going to make you pay

You think you can have it your own way
Play host at your own cabaret
But when the curtain falls
They leave you spotted and alone


She's got you, so hold her tight
How have you ended with her tonight?
Make your morning coffee, make up your lies
Try not to look your wife in the eyes

You thought that you could take a bite of your mind
Many miles away from the day to day crime
Pure in its dirt and darkness untold
You′ve been digging deep to find this gold

It's a lust that tarnishes too quick
You′ve done the deed and you feel sick
You smell nothing but an unknown scent
You've spent more than you can spare

She's got you, so hold her tight
How you ended with her tonight?
Make your morning coffee, make up your lies
How have you ended with her tonight?

She′s got you, so hold her tight
How have you ended with her tonight?
Make your morning coffee, make up your lies
Try not to look your wife in the eyes
