[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
How many times have you walked away?
Leaving me on bended knee
Pleading: "Darling, won't you stay"
Each time you leave you come back again
If I take you back this time
Will you stay until the end?

[Chorus]
Hold on (Hold on)
Hold on this time
Hold on (Hold on)
Hold on girl and don't let go (Just hold on girl and don't let go)
Hold on (Hold on)
Hold on this time
Hold on
(Just hold on girl and don't let go)

[Verse 2]
I've been patient, girl
I've been romantic
Your place is here by my side
One day I hope I make you see
Those other guys, they can't match my love
They only want you for a day
They'll take your love and run away
[Chorus]
Hold on (Hold on)
Hold on this time
Hold on (Hold on)
Hold on girl and don't let go (Just hold on girl and don't let go)
Hold on (Hold on)
Hold on this time
Hold on
(Just hold on girl and don't let go)

[Post-Chorus]
Hold on
Hold on this time
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on, baby

[Verse 3]
Too many times I stood in line
I'd watch you play your little games
You'll wind up losing every time
Forgive me girl and settle down
Don't wait, until it's too late
And my love is not around

[Chorus]
Hold on (Hold on)
Hold on this time
Hold on (Hold on)
Hold on girl and don't let go (Just hold on girl and don't let go)
Hold on
[Outro]
Hold on this time
Hold on, baby, to the one who loves you
Hold to the one that needs ya
Hold to the one that wants you so much by my side
(Hold on) Hold it, hold it (Hold on this time)
Hold on baby
Hold on (Just hold on girl and don't let go)
Hold on
Hold on
