You don't hold and kiss me like you did one time
I think my sweet baby you've got leavin' on your mind

The longer I know her the more I can tell my darling's not happy with me
The longer I know that I know you too well the less love in your eyes I see
You don't hold and kiss me...

The stronger I hold her the farther apart my darling is growing from me
The danger of my darling breaking my heart it's fast moving in on me
You don't hold and kiss me...

The deeper I love her the farther away my darling slips out of my hands
The longer the future the longer I'll stay out of my darling's plans
You don't hold and kiss me...
You don't hold and kiss me...
