It's harder to hold 
than to touch 
and when you leave 
with her on your arm 
your touch will do so much harm 

the further you go is the further she'll follow 
and it's harder to love 
then to leave and when you disappear 
the very next day 

she'll want you more 
more than ever before 
so just string her along 
your touch will do so much harm 
and you've got no charm 

he has advantages over her, 
and he knows it. 
She's got bandages everywhere, 
and she shows them 
does she care 
who knows 
when you're gone 
because it's harder to love.
