Lyrics

Johnny boy, he's always proppin' up the bar
He sees life crystallized through his jar
Says he only lives for beer
But deep in his heart is a cry of fear
Give me a heart to hang onto
Give me a soul that's tailored new
Give me a heart to hang onto
A heart to hang onto
Oh, Sally seems to get bigger everyday
She evens out in a contented way
A finger on the pulse of every guy
But deep in the night you can hear her cry
Give me a heart to hang onto
Give me a life that's tailored new
Give me a heart to hang onto
Oh please, a heart to hang onto
Give me heart to hang onto
Give me a soul that's tailored new
Give me a heart to hang onto
Give me a heart to hang onto
Danny, he wants to save for a new guitar
He's going to learn to play but he won't get far
He thinks it's an easy going high
But his whole life is just another try
Give me a heart to hang onto
Give me a suit that's tailored true
Give me a heart to hang onto
A heart to hang on
I need a heart
I need a heart
I need a heart
I need a heart
To hang onto
To hang onto
To hang onto
To hang on, I need a heart
To hang onto
To hang onto
To hang onto
To hang onto, yeah, I need a heart
To hang onto
To hang onto
To hang onto
To hang onto
To hang onto, I need a heart
To hang onto, I need a heart
To hang onto, I need a heart
