To have and not to hold

So hot, yet so cold

My heart is in your hand

And yet you never stand

Close enough for me to have my way

To love but not to keep

To laugh, not to weep

Your eyes, they go right through

And yet you never do

Anything to make me want to stay

Chorus:

Like a moth to a flame

Only I am to blame

Ba ba da ba ba ba

What can I do?

Ba ba da ba ba ba

I go straight to you

Ba ba da ba ba ba

I've been told

You're to have, not to hold

To look but not to see

To kiss but never be

The object of your desire

I'm walking on a wire

And there's no one at all

To break my fall

(chorus)

You're to have, not to hold

You're to have, not to hold

(chorus)

You're to have, not to hold

You're to have, not to hold

You're to have, not to hold

To break my heart
