And it's all that I can do
And, "Yeah, you're right" and "Are you kiddin'"
And I say things like, "Uh huh"
Holdin' on to you
Oh, but every now and then I nod
Or see you look at me and smile
When I close my eyes
It's hard to hold a conversation
Like the right thing to do
Just to hear your voice
And I ain't heard a single word she's said
Why I'm here tonight
I'd give anything
Well, she sure likes to talk
And, "Yeah, you're right" and "Are you kiddin'"
To go on with my life
And I say things like, "Uh huh"
You're still in my arms
Who's the last thing on my mind
Is holdin' on to you
'Cause here I am tonight
Holdin' on to you
And we never said goodbye
You're still in my arms
Starin' at a woman
Like the right thing to do
And I pretend to pay attention
But that's supposed to be the reason
Oh, but what I miss the most
Yea, it's hard to hold a conversation
But every now and then I nod
It's hard to hold a conversation
In a downtown restaurant with a friend of a friend
And I laugh when it seems
And I laugh when it seems
And I pretend to pay attention
