Verse Hard times, hard times When I really need somebody to hold me tight And tell me I'm strong Last night, last night You were really there for me, so thank you For playin' along Pre-Chorus But I gotta be honest with ya, baby This is not about love I gotta be honest with ya, baby I'm not above usin' you to get me through the night Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts I don't wanna get caught in the current of my mind Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts Verse An old man, an old man Has got his little hands on the button Feels like nothin' anyone can do People out there crackin' up, crackin' up And I'm just tryin' to keep it together Notice that I feel better when I'm holdin' you Pre-Chorus But I gotta be honest with ya, baby This is not about love I gotta be honest with ya, baby I'm not above usin' you to get me through the night Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts I don't wanna get caught in the current of my mind Baby, don't leave me alone with my thoughts Bridge Would you be my human shield? Hold you so that I don't feel anything? Hold you so that I don't hear the ringin' in my head?
