Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I (When I) had you (Had you)
I treated you bad, wrong, my dear
But since, since you went away (Away)
Don't you know I (Hang around) sit around
(Sit around) With my head hangin' down
And I wonder (Wonder, wonder)
Who's lovin' you (You, you)
[Verse 2]
Hoo, my first mistake was
I wanted too much time
I had to have him morning, noon, and night
If I would have known then
The things that I know now
I might not have lost the time I complain about
[Verse 3]
Don't waste your time
Fighting blind (Minded thoughts) of despair
Hold on to your love
You got to hold on
(Hold on to your love)
Ooh ooh, baby, hold on
(Hold on to your love)
Ooh, you got to hold on
(Hold on to your love, ooh)
Hey
[Verse 4]
The art of playin' games, now
Is not the hearts you break
It's 'bout the love you make when his heart's on fire
Give him love every day
Remember he needs space
Be patient and he'll give his heart to you
[Verse 5]
Don't waste your time
Fighting blind (Minded thoughts of despair) Oh oh
Hold on to your love
You got to hold on
(Hold on to your love)
Hey, you got to hold on to your love
(Hold on to your love)
Hey, yay, oh, baby, hold on
(Hold on to your love)
Oh, baby, hold on
[Verse 6]
Trust and honesty too
Must be the golden rule
You'll feel the strength of passion in your soul
(Burn) So deeply within (Burn, burn, burn, burn)
Ah, the magic that you share
So sacrifice and show how much you care
[Verse 7]
Don't waste your time (Fighting blind-minded thoughts) of despair
Hold on to your love
You got to hold on
(Hold on to your love) Don't let go
Keep the times, hang on tight and don't let go
(Ooh, hold on to your love) (Hold on to your love)
[Verse 8]
Hold on (This the remix that make ya body sweat, go on)
Hold on
Hold on
Have faith, just keep the fire burnin' at home
(Hold on) Hey, yeah
He'll come home to you
He'll be there for you, he'll want to have you
All the time, oh, don't fight over little things
Don't be so blinded
By thoughts of despair
Whoa, by thoughts of despair
Hey, yeah, don't waste your time just fighting little things
Don't mean a thing, you know you love him and he loves you too
Hey, hey, yeah
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
To your love
Hold on to your love, ooh
Hold on to your love
Hold on
