[Intro:] When I had you I treated you bad Wrong my dear But since, since you went away Don't you know I sit around With my head hanging down And I wonder who's loving you Oooh, my first mistake was I wanted too much time I had to have him morning, noon, and night If I would of known then The things that I know now I might not have lost the time I complain about [chorus:] Don't waste your time Fighting blind minded thoughts of dispair Hold on to your love You gotta hold on Hold on to your love Ooh, ooh, baby hold on Hold on to your love You gotta hold on Hold on to your love The art of playing games now Is not the hearts you break It's bound to good love you make When it's heart's on fire Give him love evryday Remember he needs space Be patient and he'll give his heart to you [chorus] Trust and honesty too Must be the golden rule You'll feel the strength of pa**ion in your soul Burn so deeply within Ooh, the magic that you share So sacrifice and show how much you care [chorus] [ad lib:] Keep the ties Hang on tight And don't let go No, no, no, no If you need him Just keep on Just keep on hanging on Little trust, honesty, golden rules Feel the strength of pa**ion in your soul It's burning so deep Have faith Just keep the fire burning at home Hey yea He'll come home to you He'll be there for you He'll want to have you [fade]
