Cranberries, The - Linger Lyrics






If you, if you could return, don't let it burn, don't let it fade.
I'm sure I'm not being rude, but it's just your attitude,
It's tearing me apart, it's ruining every day.

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?

But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

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 get by, trying not to lie,
Things wouldn't be so confused and I wouldn't feel so used,
But you always really knew, I just wanna be with you.

But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

And I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

Cranberries, The Linger Comments

    My favorite song

    Alguien mas escuchandola este 2020?

    A sad day for the music world as Dolores left us this day 2 years ago. I’m a 65 year old guy from Australia and didn’t really know of the Cranberries due my lack of interest in music at that time of my life. I actually discovered how good they are (and became a fan) after watching this respectful tribute (short medley of Linger, Dreams and Zombi) by a couple of members of my favourite Aussie band from Brisbane (Sheppard) did after her passing . . .

    Um abraço para os brasileiros que não se corromperam com as nossas músicas chatas que toca hoje em dia em nossos radios. Música de verdade é como essa.

    Listening to this I can’t feel so God Damn horrible about the way things have turned out so bad. We played this song so many times on that Sony Stereo a bought for you in New York.
    I want those days back so fng bad but even in my dreams I know it’s not possible.
    I met you I high school in 1983 and told you we would be married some day.
    After 26 years of marriage I have changed so much that I’m a mere shell of what I once was. This illness that came after my 6th concussion is taking it’s toll on my soul. It’s cutting into me to a point where I no longer feel empathy, sympathy, nor anything remotely passionate about things that used to be important. The disease kills all feeling so please remember it’s not you and I’m desperately trying to find my way back.
    Stick with me like you did back in Chicago when we were young. When I couldn’t stop drinking. I pray that this will pass and the meds will kick in. I told you that I think about ending the hurt almost daily. Remember I always loved you and the disease is a silent killer. Kim I’m sorry please believe me.

    If you, if you could return
    Don't let it burn
    Don't let it fade
    I'm sure I'm not being rude
    But it's just your attitude
    It's tearing me apart
    It's ruining everything

    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?
    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 have to let it linger?

    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 get by
    Trying not to lie
    Things wouldn't be so confused
    And I wouldn't feel so used
    But you always really knew
    I just want to be with you
    And I'm in so deep
    You know I'm such a fool for you
    You've got me wrapped around your finger
    Do have to let it linger?
    Do you have to, do you have to, do have to let it linger?

    And I'm in so deep
    You know I'm such a fool for you
    You've got me wrapped around your finger
    Do have to let it linger?
    Do you have to, do you have to, do have to let it linger?
    You know I'm such a fool for you
    You've got me wrapped around your finger
    Do have to let it linger?
    Do you have to, do you have to, do have to let it linger?

    If you, if you could return
    Don't let it burn
    Don't let it fade
    I'm sure I'm not being rude
    But it's just your attitude
    It's tearing me apart
    It's ruining every day
    For me
    I swore I would be true
    And fellow, 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?
    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 have to let it linger?

    Oh, I thought the world of you

    Do you have to, do you have to, do have to let it linger?

    And I'm in so deep
    You know I'm such a fool for you
    You've got me wrapped around your finger
    Do have to let it linger?
    Do you have to, do you have to, do have to let it linger?

    You know I'm such a fool for you
    You've got me wrapped around your finger
    Do have to let it linger?
    Do you have to, do you have to, do have to let it linger?
