Michael McDonald
(I Hang) On Your Every Word
[Verse 1]
So easily said in passing
Always followed by some way out
You got me so dizzy
I'm wondering what it's all about

All this talk about us and the future
How real is this future you see?
Maybe love's just a word thrown around
But it's important to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Darlin', I've heard it all before
But I can't give up 'til I know for sure

[Chorus]
Oh, can't you see I hang on your every word
This ain't no game I'm playin'
I really love you
Don't promise nothin' that you can't live up to

[Verse 2]
If you're so worried about my feelings
Help me get to the bottom of this
I've listened to all your excuses
It's the truth I miss
I know you're thinking I'll always be here
However long that I'll be waiting for you
I know you think my love is endless
Well, girl, that just ain't true

[Pre-Chorus]
Darlin', I've heard it all before
But I can't give up 'til I know for sure

[Chorus]
Oh, can't you see I hang on your every word
This ain't no game I'm playin'
I really love you
Don't promise nothin' that you can't live up to
I hang on your every word
This ain't no game I'm playin'
I really love you
Don't promise nothin' that you can't live up to
I hang on your every word
This ain't no game I'm playin'
I really love you
(You keep me wonderin')
Don't promise nothin' that you can't live up to

[Outro]
Baby...
