You know, of all the things in the world I'd miss
It would probably be music and love
They say you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
That's so true
Even though we still take it for granted
And I used to be like that but not anymore
'cause I found out what love really means
Love means happiness and dedication
Love will sometimes bring complications
But you must have faith and a whole lot of trust
Most of all you can never give up just
(hold on, hold on)
Hold on to your good thing, yeah
(hold on, hold on) forget about the small things
(hold on, hold on) do it for love, do it for love
And remember that love is a feeling
But it's also an action, yes
You've got to give sometime
If you want to get back some, well
And when all the king's horses
And even all the king's men
Can't put it together again
That is exactly when you've got to
(hold on, hold on) hold on to what you've got
(hold on, hold on)
It's the little things that mean alot
(hold on, hold on) do it for love, do it for love
In spite of everything, no matter what
You've got to h-o-l-d on (you gotta hold on)
Hold on, hmm, hmm, hmm, ooh, oh, oh
You're so hard headed
'cause you feel that you're right
Well, tell me how you gonna feel
In the middle of the night
All alone, all alone
I know, I know
It doesn't matter who's right or wrong
If you feel so inclined
To blame that shame on someone else
Ooh, stop and think about it
Point the finger at yourself
Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hold on to your good thing (hold on)
Forget about the small (hold on) things
(hold on) and hold on
Hold on, oh hold on (hold on)
Real tight in spite of everything
Hold on (hold on)
When you feel like walking out that door
