(Baby, hold on) Keep holding on Hold on to me Hey, it might never be the same We might never live those days gone by Let's start this over If you still see what I see But we can try

We're alive And the future never dies When we're lying here together Baby try to hold on Till we make it to forever On a night that's so cold And you're just a touch away Tell me why I'm alone I'm lost in your eyes

The only thing I wanna do Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through After a long hard day is a long night with you Tryin' to keep that wolf at bay Twelve out of twenty-four hours a day I'm bustin' it, breakin' my back Swing that hammer,

I love my baby like a bull dog loves his bone Last night she got crazy, called me up on the phone Said, "Come on over, daddy 'Cause I hates drinkin' alone" Said, "I had me a little and I had to have a little more Try to get up, could not get out the door

Anybody seen my baby Anybody seen her around It's three in the afternoon If I just close my eyes She confessed her love Then she vanished on the breeze Trying to hold on to that was just impossible She was more than beautiful Closer to ethereal

I'm at a payphone trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two If Happy Ever Afters did exist I would still be holding you like this All those fairy tales are full

Let's get it on Stop beatin' 'round the bush C'mon, baby I've been sanctified I've been really tryin', baby Tryin' to hold back this feeling for so long And if you feel like I feel, baby Then, c'mon, oh, c'mon Ah, baby, let's get it on

And if I get scared (I'll hold you tighter) When they're tryna get to you baby I'll be the fighter What if I fall (I won't let you fall) What if I cry (I'll never make you cry) What if I cry I promise I'll never make you cry I know he hurt you Made you

Let's get it on Stop beatin' 'round the bush C'mon, baby I've been sanctified I've been really tryin', baby Tryin' to hold back this feeling for so long And if you feel like I feel, baby Then, c'mon, oh, c'mon Ah, baby, let's get it on

Let's get it on C'mon, baby I've been sanctified I've been really tryin', baby Tryin' to hold back this feeling for so long And if you feel like I feel, baby Then, c'mon, oh, c'mon Ah, baby, let's get it on Let's love, baby
