How come you don't hold me no more?
How come you don't hold me no more?
I'm still the same fool that I was before...
But now I'm a fool who's not held anymore

How come you don't walk with me no more?
How come you don't walk with me no more?
They're the same old streets as before...
Is this the way it will be forevermore?

What do you see... differently?
Oh sweet mercy... I don't understand it
I don't understand it, try as hard as I might
I don't understand you...

How come you don't sing for me no more?
How come you don't sing for me no more?
Those funny, happy songs of before
That had everybody dancing in the hall

How come you don't hold me no more?
How come you don't hold me no more?
You look like you've never seen me before
Is this the way it will be forevermore?

What can I say... to stem the decay?
Or even just to hear my name... I don't understand it
I don't understand it, try as hard as I might
I don't understand you...

How come you don't hold me no more? (x4)

How come you don't hold me no more? (x4)
