It Seems to Hang On Lyrics

Is it daylight, i can't tell no more
never had this condition before
Everywhere i turn (it seems to hang on)
everything i do (it seems to hang on)
was i mistaken (it seems to hang on)
about you (it seems to hang on)
Aside from wantin' you (it seems to hang on)
aside from needin' you (it seems to hang on)
let me give you some idea (it seems to hang on)
it ain't just the tears, the fact of it is
I can't go nowhere
i can't be the same
i don't know my name
i can't understand just why
(it seems to hang on) oh, ooh, why
(it seems to hang on)
Wasn't i clever
as only i can be
but tell me what's happenin'
what's botherin' me, yeah, yeah
Aside from dreams i had
nothin' else exists
honey, it's you i miss
don't leave me like this
I can't go nowhere
i can't be the same
i don't know my name
i can't understand just why
(it seems to hang on) why
(it seems to hang on)
Like a snowball rollin' down the hill (it seems to hang on)
i look behind me, it's there still (it seems to hang on)
ooh, like a shadow it follows
oh... oh... oh... oh... oh...
Oh... loose me, loose me, loose me please
I can't go nowhere
i can't be the same
i don't know my name
i can't understand just why
(it seems to hang on)
(it seems to hang on) i can't shake it
(it seems to hang on) i can't shake it
(it seems to hang on)
Like a snowball rollin' down the hill (it seems to hang on)
i look behind me, it's there still (it seems to hang on)
ooh, it follows like a shadow
oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh...
Oh... loose me, loose me, loose me please, please
please
{hey} hey
I can't go nowhere
i can't be the same
i don't know my name
i can't understand just why, why
(it seems to hang on) {oh, oh} why
(it seems to hang on)
(it seems to hang on)
(it seems to hang on) {was it} was it
(it seems to hang on) {was it} was it
(it seems to hang on) {baby, was it love}
(it seems to hang on)
(it seems to hang on)
(it seems to hang on) {i wanna know}
(it seems to hang on) i wanna know
(it seems to hang on)
(it seems to hang on)
(it seems to hang on)
(it seems to hang on)
(it seems to hang on)
(it seems to hang on)
(it seems to hang on)
(it seems to hang on)
(it seems to hang on)
(it seems to hang on)

Nickolas Ashford (born May 4, 1942 in Fairfield, SC – August 22, 2011 in New York City) and Valerie Simpson (born August 26, 1946 in Bronx, NY) were a husband and wife songwriting/production team and recording artists. Their best-known songs include "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "You're All I Need To Get By", "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing", and "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)".

As performers, their best-known song is "Solid" (1984 US and 1985 UK), although they have had many other hits, mostly on the R&B charts. Many of their songs have been recorded in hit versions by artists as diverse as Diana Ross, Chaka Khan, Whitney Houston, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin and so many, many others.

Ashford and Simpson met at Harlem's White Rock Baptist Church in 1963. After having recorded unsuccessfully as a duo, they joined aspiring solo artist and former member of the Ikettes, Josie Jo Armstead, at the Scepter/Wand label where their compositions were recorded by Ronnie Milsap ("Never Had It So Good"), Maxine Brown ("One Step At A Time"), as well as the Shirelles and Chuck Jackson. Another of the trio's songs "Let's Go Get Stoned" gave Ray Charles a number one U.S. R&B hit in 1966. That same year Ashford & Simpson joined Motown where their best-known songs included "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "You're All I Need To Get By", "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing", and "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)".

The duo was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2002.
