You know I heard a long time ago
That it takes two to tangle
Alright
But when that love affair is one -sided,
and all the efforts that are being made
is on your part, it's a hang -up, baby.
And when you're giving all
you've got to give,
and you don't receive nothing in return,
it's a hang -up, baby.
When's that man stay out
A
all night long?
D
He's a hang -up, a -holdin' on
He's a hang -up, a -holdin' on
D
When you feel my love
Dm
D
It's a hang -up but I'm still holdin' on
F
D
I don't want nobody else,
Dm
You're a hang -up for me
D
but I'm holdin' on
Gsus4
D
Why can't you treat me
Dm
D
like you used to, baby
Dm
D
But I got to keep on holdin' on
Hey, I love you
You're still not a hang -up for me
D
Hey, I love you, baby
And I know it's a hang -up for her
Gsus4
D
Whoo -hoo -hoo!
Now I want to talk about the
D
hang -ups of holding on
Am
D
When you let that man walk
right out of that door
Knowing that he's not coming back
Dm
until the next day
It's a hang -up, baby
D
Am
And when he finally makes that en
Dm
trance through that door
Am
D
He's got lipstick on his collar
Am
Perfume smelling all over the place
Dm
It's a hang -up, baby
When you sit there and have
D
to go through that.
Dm
When your friends keep telling you
Dm
that he's just not the right man for you.
D
As if they really know,
Dm
Dm
it's a hang up for you, baby.
Even when the brightest days
Dm
D
seem dark and dreary,
D
Dm
baby, it's a hang up.
D
Dm
But wait a minute,
Am
D
I don't think you know what
I'm talking about, I think.
Dm
Now my hang up is
D
I don't know no other place
D
Dm
I'd rather be than to be with this man.
Dm
That's my hang up.
Dm

D
Now let me get myself together
Dm
Dm
Am
Now I don't care if he comes home
Dm
But once a week,
as long as he comes
D
And when he does come
I'm gonna hold my arms open wide
Dm
Am
And welcome him with a big kiss and a smile,
Dm
baby
Dm
That's holdin' on
