Johnny boy he’s always propping up the bar
He sees life crystallized through his jar
He says he only lives for beer
But his whole life is just a cry of fear

Give me a heart to hang onto
Give me a soul that’s tailored new
Give me a heart to hang onto...
A heart to hang onto

Oh, Sally seems to get bigger everyday
She evens out in a contented way
A finger on the pulse of every guy
But deep in the night you can hear her cry

Give me a heart to hang onto
Give me a life that’s tailored new
Give me a heart to hang onto...
A heart to hang onto

Give me a heart to hang onto
Give me a soul that’s tailored true
Give me a heart to hang onto

Danny, he’s gonna save for a new guitar
He’s gonna learn to play it but he won’t get far
He thinks it’s an easy going high
But his whole life is just another try

Give me a heart to hang onto
Give me a suit that’s tailored true
Give me a heart to hang onto...
A heart to hang onto

Give me a heart... to hang onto
We need a heart... to hang onto
Give me a heart... to hang onto
