ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - I Can't Hold Out

(Elmore James)



I just talked to my baby on the telephone,

She said, "Stop what you're doing and baby come on home."



[Chorus:]

I can't hold out,

I can't hold out too long.

I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone.



You said, "Baby don't you worry, you're my heart's desire.

You know that I love you, I can't stand to see you cry."



[Chorus]



She said, "Baby you can run, you can walk or fly.

You know that I love you, you're my heart's desire."



[Chorus]



I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby.

I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby.

I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone.
