I can taste your kiss on my lips
And I'm wrapped around your fingertips
As I watch the moonlight dancin’ on your skin
Your green eyes and the sweet red wine
Go to my head, girl, every time
And I get drunk on you
I lose control and then
And here I go again

I'm fallin’ for you even though I know
You’re only playing with my heart
Tomorrow might be hell
But a night or two of loving you is better than never at all
And I can't help myself
So I'll just hold on
I'll just hold on
I'll just hold on
Until you’re gone

Girl, I know you're a gypsy soul
And I'm just a stop along your road
And you hang around long enough to blow my mind
If I had a star for every scar
You tattooed on my heart
I could fill up the Oklahoma sky
So girl, I don't know why

I'm fallin’ for you even though I know
You’re only playing with my heart
Tomorrow might be hell
But a night or two of loving you is better than never at all
And I can't help myself
So I'll just hold on
I'll just hold on
I'll just hold on
Until you’re gone

I'll just hold on
I'll just hold on
I'll just hold on
Til you’re gone

I look down and my cell phone rings
And I see your name and I know what that means
But I don't care
I'll just hold on
Til you’re gone

Every time you need to take it hard
Seein’ you go just breaks my heart
But I don't care
I'll just hold on
Til you’re gone

Your green eyes and that sweet red wine
Go to my head, girl, every time
But I don't care
I'll just hold on
Til you’re gone
