Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Holding on
Is very hard to do when love is gone
That's no lie
Holding on
Is very hard to do when love is gone
Hey, yeah
[Verse 2]
I bet you, you're unhappy
I know you gotta be (I know you gotta be)
'Cause it can drive you out your mind
There ain't no sense in cryin'
It's time for you to leave (It's time for you to leave)
Baby, that's the bottom line
(Oh, I) I bet you lie awake at night and never rest a bit
And wish it all would disappear (Yeah)
But still the bottom line is you got to deal with it
And to yourself at least be fair
[Verse 3]
Said, holding on
Is very hard to do when love is gone
And that's no lie
Holding on
Is very hard to do when love is gone
Hey, yeah
[Verse 4]
Ha, ha, ha
Who are you kiddin'?
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ha, ha, ha
Who are you kiddin'?
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ha, ha, ha
Who are you kiddin'?
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ha, ha, ha
Who are you kiddin'?
[Verse 5]
Said, holding on
Is very hard to do when love is gone
And that's no lie
Holding on
Is very hard to do when love is gone
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 6]
Bet you, you're unhappy
You gotta be (I know you gotta be)
'Cause it can drive you out your mind
There ain't no sense in cryin'
It's time for you to leave (It's time for you to leave)
Baby, that's the bottom line
I bet you lie awake at nights and never rest a bit
And wish it all would disappear (Hey)
But still the bottom line is you got to deal with it
And to yourself at least be fair
[Verse 7]
Said, holding on
Is very hard to do when love is gone
And that's no lie
Holding on
Is very hard to do when love is gone
When love is gone, hey
(Holding on) Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah (when love is gone)
Oh, I said, holding on
Is so very hard to do
Is so very hard to do, yeah (When love is gone)
[Verse 8]
Oh, I said
I said
I said
Hey, I said
Listen to me now
Well, you know, when the feelin's gone
Well, you got to stop holdin' on
'Cause that makes it twice as bad
You can't give the love that you don't have
So why drag it on and on and on
[Verse 9]
Holding on and on and on, yeah
(When love is gone) Yeah, yeah
Said now that, holding on
Is very hard to do when your love is gone
When your love is gone now
Holding on
So very hard to do when your love is gone
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah (Holding on)
