Song Lyrics

Why, why, why won't you sympathize
And tell me where you're coming from?
My, my, my, don't you realize
We're not lovin' when there's something wrong?

Come here mama, let me make it right
I know that we can work it out
No sense talkin' 'bout a love gone bad

You got to hold on, hold on baby
Hold on, hold on baby
You got to hold on, hold on baby
You got to hold on

Why, why is it always something new?
Baby, I'm just dyin' to please
Cry, cry, cry when you're singin' the blues
I'm just bringin' my sympathies

Hey, little mama won't you change your mind?
Don't go running away
Please come home where you know you belong

You got to hold on, hold on baby
Hold on, hold on baby
You got to hold on, hold on baby
You got to hold on

And I know when the feeling gets you
It's gonna get you
And I know where it's gonna get you
Right there in the back of your mind

And I know when the feeling gets you
I won't forget you
Yes, you know that I won't forget you
Got too much on my mind

And I know when the feeling hits you
It's gonna hit you
Yes I know where it's gonna hit you
Right there in the back of your mind

I know when the feeling hits you
I'll never quit you
Yes, you know that I'll never quit you
Got too much on the line

And I know when the feeling get you
It's gonna get you
And I know where it's gonna get you
Right there in the back of your mind

I know when the feeling gets you
I won't forget you
Yes, you know that I won't forget you
Got too much on my mind

And I know when the feeling hits you
It's gonna hit you
Yes I know where it's gonna hit you
Right there in the back of your mind

I know when the feeling hits you
I'll never quit you
Yes, you know that I'll never quit you
Got too much on the line

You got to hold on, hold on, baby
Hold on, hold on, baby
Got to hold on, hold on baby
Got to hold on, hold on baby
