Linger (Live At The Molson Amphitheatre, Toronto/1996) Lyrics

[Intro]
If you know this one, I want you to sing it with me, alright?

[Verse 1]
If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn
Don't let it fade
I'm sure I might be rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything
And I swore, I swore I would be true
And, honey, so did you
So why were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?
Was it just a game to you?

[Chorus]
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to? (Do you have to?)
Do you have to let it linger?
[Verse 2]
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you, if you could gеt by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so usеd
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you

[Chorus]
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to? (Do you have to?)
Do you have to let it linger?
(Alright)

[Chorus]
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to? Do you have to?
Do you have to let it linger? (Last time)
You know I'm such a fool for you (Sing it)
You've got me–
(Do you have to let it linger?)
(Do you have to?) Do you have to?
(Do you have to let it linger?)
(Yeah, you guys can sing)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
