You Got A Hold On Me

Shelley T Murray 1969 (NJ)

Hold me
Don't Scold me
Of all of the thangs you told me
Your words they fold me
Down to the ground
Got me runnin around
I was bound
To be found
By love
From Above
Lies fly away like a dove
It hurts like being hit by a boxing glove
Time for this farce to end
How far do you think my heart can bend
Now I must send
You away
Right now Right today
