A former member of Alice Cooper's band, bassist Kip Winger formed his own group in 1986; in addition to vocalist/bassist Winger, the group featured lead guitarist Reb Beach, guitarist/keyboardist Paul Taylor, and drummer Rod Morgenstein, formerly of the Dixie Dregs. Taking its name from its leader, Winger specialized in the stylish hard rock that sent Bon Jovi and Poison to the top of the charts. The band's eponymous debut sold over a million copies on the strength of the rocker "Seventeen" and the ballad "Headed for a Heartbreak." Winger's second album, 1990's In the Heart of the Young, was equally successful, selling over a million copies and featuring the hit power-ballad "Miles Away." However, the band didn't outlast the grunge trend and the group faded away after the release of its 1993 album Pull. Kip Winger launched a solo career at the tail end of the '90s. In early 2006, the "Pull" 1993 line-up reunited, along with a fifth member on keyboards.

Hangin' On Lyrics

Winger

My love try to understand me
I can't stop thinking about you
The howling down inside
Is crying out for your touch
Last time you walk away
Last time if you think of saving yourself
Don't say all your love is in vain
And don't say I'm the stranger again

It's just not fair,
That I can't see you anymore
I still want you
I still need you
I can't let go

Chorus:
I can't keep from hangin' on
I can't stop no I'm not that strong
I can't keep from hangin' on
Hangin' on!!

I know yesterday is over
But in here the flame is burning on
Burning a hole in my heart
Where I still believe--I'm still hopin'

You closed the door
Again and again
I still want you
I still need you
I can't let go, no!

Chorus:
I can't keep from hangin' on
I can't stop no I'm not that strong
I can't keep from hangin' on
Hangin' on!!

Solo

I can't let go
Oh!!!!

Chorus:
I can't keep from hangin' on
I can't stop no I'm not that strong
I can't keep from hangin' on
Hangin' on

Hangin' on
I can't stop no I'm not that strong
I can't keep from hangin' on
Hangin' on!!!

I can't let go

Can't keep me --- hangin' on
(repeat and fade)
