"Head On The Line" lyrics

"Head On The Line"

How come it's taking you so long
You're still getting out of it
You never wasted so much time
But I can see you're having fun
When will you grow out of it
Don't ask me to put my head on the line
In all these problem-cluttered times
You're creating another one
It's not enough just feeling fine
Oh I know
All of your friends they sympathize
Well I'm not another one
Don't ask me to put my head on the line

So have a drink and start to dance
And talk about your blues
But just make sure that your heart's beating on in you
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line

So have a drink and start to dance
And talk about your blues
But just make sure that your heart's beating on in you

You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line
You're head's on the line.
