To have and not to hold
So hot, yet so cold
My heart is in your hand
And yet you never stand
Close enough for me to have my way

To love but not to keep
To laugh, not to weep
Your eyes, they go right through
And yet you never do
Anything to make me want to stay

Chorus:

Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba
What can I do?
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba
Ive been told
Youre to have, not to hold

To look but not to see
To kiss but never be
The object of your desire
Im walking on a wire
And theres no one at all
To break my fall

(chorus)

Youre to have, not to hold
Youre to have, not to hold

(chorus)

Youre to have, not to hold
Youre to have, not to hold
Youre to have, not to hold
To break my heart
