To have and not to hold So hot, yet so cold My heart is in your hand And yet you never stand Close enough for me to have my way To love but not to keep To laugh, not to weep Your eyes, they go right through And yet you never do Anything to make me want to stay Like a moth to a flame, only I am to blame Ba ba da ba ba ba, what can I do? Ba ba da ba ba ba, I go straight to you Ba ba da ba ba ba, I've been told You're to have, not to hold (Āhāhu-purusākāram) (Āhāhu-purusākāram) To look but not to see To kiss but never be The object of your desire I'm walking on a wire And there's no one at all to break my fall Like a moth to a flame, only I am to blame Ba ba da ba ba ba, what can I do? Ba ba da ba ba ba, I go straight to you Ba ba da ba ba ba, I've been told You're to have, not to hold (Āhāhu-purusākāram) You're to have, not to hold (Āhāhu-purusākāram) You're to have... Not to hold Like a moth to a flame, only I am to blame Ba ba da ba ba ba, what can I do? Ba ba da ba ba ba, I go straight to you Ba ba da ba ba ba, I've been told You're to have, not to hold (Āhāhu-purusākāram) You're to have, not to hold (Āhāhu-purusākāram) You're to have, not to hold You're to have... Not to hold To break my heart (Āhāhu-purusākāram)
