"(I Hang) On Your Every Word" Lyrics

(Michael McDonald & Amy Holland)

So easily said in passing
Always followed by some way out
You got me so dizzy
I'm wondering what it's all about

All this talk about us and the future
How real is this future you see
Maybe love's just a word thrown around
But it's important to me

Darlin' I've heard it all before
But I can't give up
Till I know for sure

[Chorus:]
Oh, can't you see I hang on your every word
This ain't no game I'm playing
I really love you
Don't promise nothin' that you can't live up to

If you're so worried about my feelings
Help me get to the bottom of this
I've listened to all your excuses
It's the truth I miss

I know you're thinking I'll always be here
However long that I'll be waiting for you
I know you think my love is endless
Well, girl that just ain't true

Darlin' I've heard it all before
But I can't give up
Till I know for sure

[Chorus]
