Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Bless my heart, bless my soul

Didn't think I'd make it to twenty-two years old

There must be someone up above

Sayin', "Come on, Brittany, you got to come on up

[Chorus]

You got to hold on

Hey, you got to hold on"

[Verse 2]

So, bless my heart and bless yours, too

I don't know where I'm gonna go

Don't know what I'm gonna do

There must be somebody up above

Sayin', "Come on, Brittany, you got to come on up

[Chorus]

You got to hold on

Hey, you got to hold on"

[Chorus]

"Yeah, you gotta wait

Yeah, you gotta wait"

But I don't wanna wait

I don't wanna wait

[Verse 3]

So, bless my heart, bless my mind

I got so much to do, I ain't got much time

So, must be someone up above

Saying "Come on, girl

Yeah, you got to get back up

[Chorus]

You got to hold on

Hey, you got to hold on"

[Chorus]

"Yeah, you gotta wait"

I don't wanna wait

But I don't wanna wait

No, I don't wanna wait

[Outro]

You got to hold on

You got to hold on

You got to hold on

You got to hold on
