Your body's got a hold on me,
It's hard to understand how your flesh can take control of me, when I don't care that much for you.
You're good for only nights, when I'm lonely with no place to go,
Long as you leave before light, and I want to know why.
Something's holding on, (I'd really rather be alone)
Something's holding on, (you're not wanted for his very own)
You really whet my appetites, stimulate my glands,
As long as what you wear looks right, and you keep to the weight I choose,
Under covers we hide, getting down to the real thing, baby,
Making love, we get tight, but I still want to know why.
Something's holding on,
Something's holding on,
Something else is holding on,
It's holding on too strong,
It's holding on too long.
Something's holding on,
Something's holding on,
Must be love that's holding on,
But if you cut off all my fun, I'll be telling you, "So long."
