Hand in hand

No, don´t ask me to apologise.
I won´t ask you to forgive me.
If I´m gonna go down,
you´re gonna come with me
You say ´Why don´t you be a man about it,
like they do in the grown-up movies?´
But when it comes to the other way around,
you say you just wanna use me. Oh,
you sit and you wonder whether
it´s gonna be syndicated.
You sit with your knees together.
All the time your breath is baited.
Hand in Hand.
No, don´t ask me to apologise.
I won´t ask you to forgive me.
If I´m gonna go down,
you´re gonna come with me
Don´t you know I got the bully boys out
changing someone´s facial design,
sitting with my toy room lout,
polishing my precious china
Don´t you know I´m an animal?
But don´t you know I can´t stand up steady?
But you can´t show me any kind of hell
that I don´t know already.
Hand in Hand.
No, don´t ask me to apologise.
I won´t ask you to forgive me.
If I´m gonna go down,
you´re gonna come with me
Hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand...
I won´t ask you to forgive me.
If I´m gonna go down,
you´re gonna come with me
You say ´Why don´t you be a man about it,
like they do in the grown-up movies?´
But when it comes to the other way around,
you say you just wanna use me. Oh,
you sit and you wonder whether
it´s gonna be syndicated.
You sit with your knees together.
All the time your breath is baited.
Hand in Hand.
No, don´t ask me to apologise.
I won´t ask you to forgive me.
If I´m gonna go down,
you´re gonna come with me
Don´t you know I got the bully boys out
changing someone´s facial design,
sitting with my toy room lout,
polishing my precious china
Don´t you know I´m an animal?
But don´t you know I can´t stand up steady?
But you can´t show me any kind of hell
that I don´t know already.
Hand in Hand.
No, don´t ask me to apologise.
I won´t ask you to forgive me.
If I´m gonna go down,
you´re gonna come with me
Hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand...
