Lyrics

(Hold On, Hold On)
Hold on just a little bit longer
keep the faith and let your love be stronger
hold on, like a promised you
cause I'll be coming back to you

I heard just the other day,
that since we've
since we've been apart
someone is making a play
darling, to steal your heart
But I say

Hold on just a little bit longer
keep the faith
and let your love be stronger
hold on, like a promised you
cause I'll be coming back to you

His arms, oh his arms may be so tempting
but darling, remember, remember so am I
so be strong, and think of me only
and forget about that other guy
All I want you to do for me ,is

Hold on just a little bit longer
keep the faith and let your love be stronger
hold on, like a promised you
cause I'll be coming back to you

Oh, hold on pretty baby,
hold on just a little longer
