"Hold On" 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 loving when there's something wrong?
Come here mama, let me make it right
I know that we can work it out
But no sense talking about a love gone bad

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

Why, why is it always something new?
Baby, I'm just dying to please
Cry, cry, cry when you're singing the blues
I'm just bringing 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 babe
You got to hold on, hold on babe
You got to hold on

You know when the feeling gets you
It's going in 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
And 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
La la la la la la la

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