Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's been a lot of talk of love
But that don't amount to nothing
You can evoke the stars above
But that doesn't make it something
And the only way to last
And the only way to live it
Is to hold on when you get love
And let go when you give it, give it
[Verse 2]
It's a pretty melody
It might help you through the nighttime
But it doesn't make it easy
To leave the party at the right time
If I'm frightened, if I'm high
It's my weakness; please forgive it
At least I hold on when I get love
And I let go when I give it, give it, give it
[Verse 3]
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
And let go when you give it
What do I do?
[Verse 4]
The world won't listen to this song
And the radio won't play it
But if you like it sing along
Sing, 'cause you don't know how to say it
Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love
So you can let go when you give it
Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love
So you can let go when you give it, give it, give it
[Verse 5]
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
And let go when you give it
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do?
[Verse 6]
I know it's true, at least I think I do
Nothing that you say or do will make you love me
Forget this song, it will go on
I'll keep singing from the dark with you above me
[Verse 7]
I know it's true, at least I think I do
Nothing that you say or do will make you love me
Forget this song, it will go on
I'll keep singing from the dark with you above me
[Verse 8]
Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love
So you can let go when you give it
Give it, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it
