Talking like we used to do It was always me and you Shaping up and shipping out Check me in and check me out Do you like walking in the rain? When you think of love, do you think of pain? You can tell me what you see I will choose what I believe Hold on, darling This body is yours, This body is yours and mine Well hold on, my darling This mess was yours, Now your mess is mine Your mess is mine See you in the marketplace Walking 'round at 8am Got 2 hours before my flight Luck be on my side tonight You’re the reason that I feel so strong The reason that I’m hanging on You know you gave me all the time Oh, did I give enough of mine? Hold on, darling This body is yours, This body is yours and mine Well hold on, my darling This mess was yours, Now your mess is mine Bring me to your house Tell me sorry for the mess Hey, I don’t mind You’re talking in your sleep Out of time Well, you still make sense to me Your mess is mine Your mess is mine This body’s yours and this body’s mine Your mess is mine
