She had a hold on me, stripping, stripping my heart
Stripping my heart, ooh and I don't know what made me do it
(Hold on me)
Well, I remember when I used to love someone
I used to love someone but now I'm on the run
And also she had a way of
Publishers: ARTIST PUBLISHING GROUP WEST, SONGS OF UNIVERSAL INC, TAPPY WHYTES MUSIC
I've tried, ooh I've tried to love you
Also I can remember the first day that you came in my life
She used to tell me things that I used to love
I used to love someone but now I'm on the run
The smell of her sweet perfume
Hmm, the love I once knew
It seemed then that you were a little more open
Songwriters: Douglas Coleman, Anthony C. Hamilton
But now I don't know who you really are it seems that the look
I used to love someone, now I'm on the run
Of yours eyes is that you're drifting off from afar
She had a hold on me, stripping the walls of my heart
She had her way of getting the best of my heart
She had a hold on me, stripping the walls of my heart
Stripping the walls of my heart, used to love
And you don't even seem the same, it's like you're playing a game with me
She had a hold on me, stripping the walls of my heart
That looked just like you and also I can remember
Something came along and blew it, somewhere
Keeping me smiling, but now she's gone
Still has a hold on me
Ooh Lord, ooh Lord, ooh Lord, ooh
With all of your thoughts and the days you used to talk to me
But now I'm on the run, she has a hold on me
From the love I once knew
I used to love someone but now I'm on the run
(Love that I once knew)
