Carry Me, Hold Me (feat. Josh Oliver)

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?" 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 asking from you Is for you to hold me And when you realize that I'm leavin' 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 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 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 Cause you know that I told you
