Swallow it down or spit it out
But either way, let's move along
I'm radioactive, I'm in pieces
But I am still feeling strong enough

To walk away from all of this
The car is crashed, I just don't care
My followers abandoned me
'Cause Papa Bear was unprepared

If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
I know I'd be so brave right now
If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
I know I'd be so brave right now

Maybe I'll get back to you
Maybe I haven't learned a thing
Maybe it's the last time for you
But it's not the last time for me

I love the things you have to pay for
That knock you down and make you dizzy
I got distracted along the way
Shaking hands and looking busy

If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
I know I'd be so brave right now
If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
I know I'd be so brave right now

If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
Oh, my one and only

Do you ever think maybe
I could be one of those things
That you hate at first
But eventually learn to love
And then trust, and then touch, and then cut
Yeah, I bet you will
Yeah, I bet you will

I took a lot of day-trips, trying to get away-trips
Sorry, I have cold-lips, nothing left to say-lips
I'm calling double or nothing on everything I have
I finally am what I am, a fucking bag of bags

If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
I know I'd be so brave right now
If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
I know I'd be so brave right now

If only you could hold me
My sweet, sweet Joanie
Oh, my one and only
