Katie Powderly - Carry Me, Hold Me lyrics

rate me

The barroom lights still twinkle and shine

Just like they did when you were mine

But those days have come

And those days have passed

But the men here still wink and ask me to dance

And while we whirl whisper words of romance

They ask me sweet baby

What's that sad look in your eyes

Chorus

I'm tired of being so strong

I want someone to carry me

But don't you betray me and decide

You want to marry me

All I'm askin from you

Is for you to hold me

And when you realize that I'm leaving

Don't say she never told me

But things just don't seem to work out that way

They always come looking for more the next day

They're asking for something

That I just can't give

Some bide their time convinced that I'll change

Some say for a woman that I act awful strange

But they don't understand me

And they never will

Chorus

I'm tired of being so strong

I want someone to carry me

But don't you betray me and decide

You want to marry me

All I'm askin from you

Is for you to hold me

And when you realize that I'm leaving

Don't say she never told me

There's only one man who has had my heart

And when it got broken I guess I got smart

I said I'll be damned

If I do that again

Chorus

I'm tired of being so strong

I want someone to carry me

But don't you betray me and decide

You want to marry me

All I'm askin from you

Is for you to hold me

And when you realize that I'm leaving

Don't say she never told me
