I Can't Hold Out (with Jeremy Spencer & Bill Wyman) [Live from The London Palladium]

I Can’t Hold Out – lyrics

Talking to my baby on the telephone
She said, “Stop what you’re doing, come on home”
I can’t hold out, can’t hold out too long
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone

Said, “Baby, you know I love you, you’re my heart’s desire”
“I really want you baby, hate to see you cry”
I can’t hold out, can’t hold out too long
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone

Talk to me baby, talk to me baby
Talk to me baby, talk to me baby

She said, “Daddy, you can run, walk, or fly”
“You know that I love you baby, hate to see you cry”
I can’t hold out, can’t hold out too long
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone, oh yeah

Talk to me baby, come on, talk to me baby
Talk to me baby, talk to me baby
