Help is on the Way (Girlfriends)

I'd like to dedicate this to all my girl friends in the business
 It gets a little rough sometime
 Just hang on in there help is on the way
 Hold on
 Everything will be okay
 What's the matter girl
 Did you forget to pray?
 (Did you forget to pray?)
 So what if he said
 In love with you he'd stay
 Then he met a girl
 Who stole his heart away
 So you cry (You cry)
 All night (All night)
 And you sigh (And you sigh)
 All day (All day)
 But don't give hope
 Help is on the way
 (Don't you give up)
 Help is on the way
 Mmm-mmm, hm
 Hold on
 One day the sun will shine
 (The sun will shine)
 These are hard times believe me I've had mine
 When not a friend in this old world
 You can find
 You feel alone (Feel so all alone)
 Like you'll loose your mind
 And you weep (You weep)
 And you moan (And you moan)
 Lie awake (Lie awake)
 All night long (Night long)
 But just you be strong
 Help is on the way
 (Oh, it's right around the corner)
 Help is on the way
 Oh yes,
 You see, expecting heaven that's what hell is all about
 You know, I've been thinking about all the things
 I've been through in my little short life and
 It gets rough sometime but you just gotta hang on in there, you know
 You got all these rookies coming up
 Wannabes, gonnabes, maybe and whatever
 Taking up a whole lotta space from the women of good taste
 But you just hold on, take it from me
 Just hold on (Hold on)
 I said hold on (Hold on)
 I said hold on (Hold on)
 Help is on the way
