Hold Out

[Verse 1] Baby I guess you know my story Baby I guess you've heard my side It seems I've traded love for glory But I'm still not satisfied Given all the years All the cries and cheers Don't amount to much more than pride Take my love for you Take tomorrow too There's not much left inside [Verse 2] How we laughed when we first knew love Singing dum-de-lum-de-lie I taught you how to see light through love Then I taught you how to cry Though I must have known How easily love is thrown I took some chances, I don't know why There's not much you can do You wish that I'd been true Darlin' so do I [Chorus] Now you better hold out Go on and hold out Go ahead and hold out What you know love can be Move on and hold out Don't let your love get sold out If there's anyone who knows about it Baby that's me [Bridge] Ah you're right You can't forget the way I lied Time has seen you grow To lead your life alone Though you tried and tried Cried and cried [Verse 3] Baby I guess you know my story Maybe there's not much left to say You know the more we talk the more we Turn each other's hearts away Now I'll be leaving in the morning Leaving half of me behind To find the pieces life's been torn in And take whatever love I find [Chorus] But you better hold out Go on and hold out Just walk away and hold out For what you know love can be Move on and hold out Don't let your love be sold out It's starting to be cold out For people who live like me Move on and hold out And somewhere later no doubt You'll find another hold out Someone just like you Baby wait and see
