Hold on, hold on

 You've got a girl who really loves you
 (you've got a girl who really cares)
 She'll do anything you ask her to
 Yet you treat her wrong
 Oh you just string her along
 Brother, if I were in your shoes

 I would hold on, hold on, hold on tight
 And make the whole world know she's mine
 I would hold on, hold on, with all my might
 love like hers is very hard to find

 She does her best to make you happy
 (she always does her very best)
 You do your best to make her blue
 Buddy, you've got it made
 But you'd rather go and play
 I know one thing for sure, if I were you

 I would hold on, hold on, hold on tight
 And make the whole world know she's mine
 I would hold on, hold on, with all my might
 love like hers is very hard to find

 She's always there each time you need her
 (each time you need her she is there)
 She gives her love so willingly
 But you just don't care
 You know that she'll be there
 How I wish she'd felt that way about me

 I would hold on, hold on, hold on tight
 And make the whole world know she's mine
 I would hold on, hold on, with all my might
 love like hers is very hard to find

 Hold on, hold on
