i m nowhere that i ve ever been i m no one i can t remember me make it all go you re showing me heaven your door is always closed like the church doors are when you need a little jesus outside his business hours you know where were you when i needed you to hold me give a little beat of your heart to me you ve got to hold me it s like the rhythm of life to me you ve got to hold me a little beat of your heart to me you ve got to hold me the rhythm of life to me how i long to take some comfort from your arms i am denied i never relied on the comfort or charity of strangers hear all the low lonely lullabies i love dearer than life the warmth of a friend that i could depend on to listen to me and hold me give a little beat of your heart to me you ve got to hold me it s like the rhythm of life to me you ve got to hold me a little beat of your heart to me you ve got to hold me the rhythm of life what would they find in the ashes then a paper doll who thought she was a dancer fusing with the molten gray of a soldier of tin who happened once along her way hold me give a little beat of your heart to me you ve got to hold me it s like the rhythm of life to me you ve got to hold me a little beat of your heart to me you ve got to hold me the rhythm of life
