Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh
|
Oh yeah, uh-huh
|
|
Listen
|
Holding back the years
|
Thinking about the fear I've had so long
|
Will somebody here listen
|
Listen to the fear that's gone
|
|
Strangled by the wishes I begged for
|
Hoping for the unmade for
|
To get to me the sooner or later
|
Oh Lord
|
|
Ooh
|
Holding back the years
|
Chance for me to escape from all I know
|
And uh holding back the tears yeah
|
Cause nothing here is wrong, oh Lord
|
|
I've wasted all my tears yeah
|
(Ain't no reason, no)
|
Wasted all those years
|
(Too many, too many they just go by)
|
Nothing had the chance to be good, no, no
|
Nothing ever could, oh no
|
|
But I'll keep holding on
|
(Gotta keep holding on)
|
I'll keep holding on
|
(Never let go no, no, no)
|
I'll keep holding on
|
(Gotta keep holding on)
|
I'll keep holding on
|
|
Take your time, take your time
|
Suga take your time
|
Take your time
|
Take your time, take your time
|
Suga take your time
|
Take your time
|
|
Oh now
|
I've wasted all my tears
|
Wasted all those, those lonely, lonely years
|
Nothing had the chance to be good
|
Nothing ever could
|
|
I'll keep holding on
|
(Gotta keep holding on)
|
I'll keep holding on
|
(Never let go no, no, no)
|
I'll keep holding on
|
(Gotta keep holding on)
|
I'll keep holding on
|
Oh, oh, oh, oh
|
|
Gotta just keep, keep
|
Keep holding on
|
No matter how tired
|
Gotta just keep, keep
|
Keep pressing on
|
As weary as it may seem... [repeat 4x]
|
|
Think it's a love song
|
Pull back, pulsate
|
Gonna keep holding on
|
Never, never, never let go
|
Oh yeah
|
I'll keep holding on
|
