Song Lyrics

When I (when I)
Had you (had you)
I treated you bad, wrong my dear
But since, since you went away
Don't you know I (hang around)
Sit around (sit around)
With my head hanging down
And I wonder (wonder, wonder)
Who's loving you (you, you, you)

Ooh, 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

Don't waste your time
Fighting blind minded thoughts of despair

Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love
Ooh, ooh, baby hold on
Hold on to your love
Oh, you gotta hold on
Hold (hey) on to your love, ooh

The art of playing games now
Is not the hearts you break
It's bound good love you make
When his heart's on fire
Give him love every day
Remember he needs space
Be patient and he'll give his heart to you

Don't waste your time
Fighting blind minded thoughts of despair

Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold, hey, on to your love, ooh
(You've got to hold on to your love)
Hold on to your love (yeah hey)
Oh, baby hold on
Hold on to your love, ooh (oh, baby hold on)

Trust and honesty too
Must be the golden rule
You'll feel the strength of passion in your soul
Burn so deeply within, oh
The magic that you share
So sacrifice and show how much you care

Don't waste your time
Fighting blind minded thoughts of despair

Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love, ooh (don't let go)
(Keep the ties)
Hold on to your love (hang on tight and don't let go)
Hold on to your love (don't let go)

Hold on to your love
Hold on to your love, ooh
Hold on to your love (if you love him, if you need him)
Hold on to your love, ooh (really want him)

Just keep on, just keep on hanging on (hold on)
Little trust, honesty, golden rules
Feel the strength of passion in your soul (hold on)
It's burning so deep (hold on)
Have faith
Just keep the fire burning at home (hold on)
Hey yeah
He'll come home to you (hold on)
He'll be there for you
He'll want to have you (hold on)

All the time
Oh (hold on)
Have a little faith, don't be so blinded (hold on)
Or thoughts of despair
Oh (hold on to your love) or thoughts of despair
