(Pete Townshend)

 I can't be held responsible for blown behaviour
 I lost all contact with my only saviour
 No-one locked me out because I failed to phone up
 I can't bear to live forever like a loner

 Don't let go the coat

 It's easy to be sad: when you lack a partner
 But how would I react to a broken heart now
 It ain't
Hanging onto you and when I hold it next time

 I won't let go the coat

 I try to explain but you never understand it
 I need your body but I can't just demand it
 I won't let go like a stray at heel
 (Never let it out of your sight)
 Every lonely wife knows the way I feel
 (Don't let go tonight)
 Don't let go the coat
 Never let go the coat

 Your friends all pass for life is just a market
 But you have to finish everything you started
 So I live my life tearing down [bad word] 
 Sure to get the hang of hanging in there someday

 Don't let go the coat
 Won't get no more chances - forget the war dances
 Go blind and hang on - don't try the slang son
 Never let go the coat.
