Elvis Costello & The Attractions — Hand In Hand lyrics

Lyrics

No, don’t ask me to apologize
I won’t ask you to forgive me If I’m gonna go down, you’re gonna come with me You say, «Why don’t you be a man about it Like they do in the grown up movies?»
But when it comes to the other way around
You say you just wanna use me Oh, you sit and you wonder whether
It’s gonna be syndicated
You sit with your knees together
All the time your breath is bated
Hand in hand, no, don’t ask me to apologize
I won’t ask you to forgive me If I’m gonna go down, you’re gonna come with me Don’t you know I got the bully boys out
Changing someone’s facial design
Sitting with my toy room lout
Polishing my precious china
Don’t you know I’m an animal
But don’t you know I can’t stand up steady
But you can’t show me any kind of hell
That I don’t know already
Hand in hand, no, don’t ask me to apologize
I won’t ask you to forgive me If I’m gonna go down, you’re gonna come with me Hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand
Hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand
Hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand
Hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand
