you keep me hangin' on

Singer:jj cale

every time i stop awhile

think about your sweet smile

i can't do nothing else all day

the way that you wink your eye

every time you walk by

baby what can i say

you keep me hanging on

i can't get nothing else on

when the evening rolls around

and there ain't nobody around

baby

i think of you

of all the stars at night

none can match the brilliant light

that i see in your eyes

the humble warmth

the glow

baby child i know

i still think of you

you keep me hanging on

i can't get nothing else on

if i could hold you just one time

stop that moment in my mind
