Hand to Hold On To - John Mellencamp

You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends

Spin in the middle when your troubles begin

Take it nice and easy and always pretend

That you're cool, so cool, so cool

Say, I'munna hold onto that a while and I will and I'll be tame

Talk like a jerk on educated brain

Be an old girl drivin' the young boys insane

Be a joker, a preacher, it does not matter

Everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Don't need to be no strong hand

Don't need to be no rich hand

Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to

Havin' good luck with your financial situation

Play the ponies, be the President of the United Nation

Go to work and be a Hollywood stand

Drive your four wheel drive right into the mud, but

Everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Don't need to be no strong hand

Don't need to be no rich hand

Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to

And in those hours when you're alone

And there's nobody there except yourself

I know it you wanna pick up the phone

And say, "Talk to me, talk to me

Somebody please talk to me", yeah

Oh yeah, everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Don't need to be no strong hand

Don't need to be no rich hand

Everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Don't need to be no strong hand

Don't need to be no rich hand

Everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Don't need to be no strong hand

Don't need to be no rich hand
