Lyrics Hold Her Tight - The Correspondents

Hold Her Tight

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 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 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
