I held her boob so tightly in my hands

I held the book so tightly in my hands
Phil Collins', "Behind The Lines"
Misheard Lyrics:
Wait a minute; I don't understand
It skips right over my head.
It skips right over my head.
Original Lyrics:
Wait a minute; I don't understand
It's getting stronger; hold my hand.
It's getting stronger; hold my hand.
The Phil Collins version of this song rocks. It has beautiful brass parts, and the percussion is outstanding as always.

Wait a minute; I don't understand
Skippy's trying to hold my hand.

Wait a minute; I don't understand
It's getting stronger; hold my hand.
It's getting stronger; hold my hand.
