And though she knows she's wrong
She just keeps on
Keepin' me hangin' on
Tell me:
[Chorus:]
What's a man to do
When the one he's promised to
Finds somebody new
Should I just stand by
Watch the love I've lived for die
Lord I wish I knew
Tell me what's a man to do
Maybe I'll make a stand
Or should I just wash my hands
Of her forever
But I've never been alone
Except for here at home
When they're together
And though I know it's wrong
I let her go on
Keepin' me hangin' on
[Chorus]
