Stop shaking your knees

Stop begging him please won't you stick around

Stop holding your breath

Stop wagering bets on when you'll hit the ground

I've been here before and I’ve known these floors

I’ve walked my tired feet

Right up to the plate when things aren't great

I take to the street

And I cover rooftops with my harmonies

And I open windows with my melodies, I do

And I close the door on minor chords

Won't you please, hold my hand my Georgia Lee

Don't quit shaking hands

Don't watch from the stands for fear that you might fall

Don't let yourself frown

Don't put yourself down when he forgets to call

I've been in your shoes and I've gotten bruised upon my tired knees

Trying to slide into home when I feel alone I take to the street

And I cover rooftops with my harmonies

And I open windows with my melodies, I do

And I close the door on minor chords

Won't you please, hold my hand my Georgia Lee

Stop shaking your knees

Stop begging him please won't you stick around

While I cover rooftops with my harmonies

And I open windows with my melodies, I do

And I close the door on minor chords

Won't you please, sing with me

And hold my hand my Georgia Lee
