NO MORE HANGING ON
(Jerry Chesnut)


Jerry Lee Lewis - 1972



Well, if you think it's really over
And if that's the way you want it
Loving you the way that I do 
Makes Jerry look foolish, now honey, don't it

If you think there'll be no turning back
And that all the good is gone
Just tell me so, from now on 
There'll be no more hanging on

If you've ever really loved me
Don't tell me how I killed it
And if you couldn't see all the love of Jerry Lee
It's just because you didn't feel it

If it's really true you have given up
Please don't make no excuses
I promise no more hangin' on 
If you really feel that it's useless

There'll be no more hangin' on on to dreams of a happy ever after
No more make believe that you ever needed me
No more standing in your way of looking for that special someone
No more wishing for what's never going to be

Oh God, I know it won't be easy
Oh, it can't be after loving you so long
But if that's the way you want it 
From now on there's no hangin'g on

Oh, I know it won't be easy 
God, it can't be after loving you so long
But if that's the way you want it 
From now on there'll no hangin' on

Oh God, there's no more hangin' on
