Lyrics
The Hang Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'd rather be doin' just about anything
Than what I am doin' at this moment
I'd rather be foolin' just about anyone
Than who I am foolin' at this moment
Like a preacher who lost his faith
I just cant find the heart to say
I'd rather be anywhere, anyway
Than to give up another day puttin' up with you (you)
At this moment (you)
I'd rather be hearin' just about anything
Than what you are feeling at this moment
I'd rather be thinkin' just about anything
Than how to be leaving you at this moment
Out with the girls on first avenue
Drinkin' away our imaginary blues
I'd rather be anywhere, anyway
Than to give up another day puttin' up with you (you)
Oh at this moment (you)
Oh at this moment (you)
And don't you know
True love comes and goes
But, oh, how to break the news
When you've lost it
At this moment
Cause I'd rather be doin just about anything
At this moment
I'd rather be foolin' just about anyone
La la-la la la la la-la la-la la-la la la (x2)
Oh oh-oh oh oh oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh oh
Oh at this moment
And from this moment on
