Hold Out

Baby I guess you know my story
 
 Baby I guess you've heard my side
 It seems I've traded love for glory
 But I'm still not satisfied
 
 Given all the years all the cries and cheers
 Don't amount to much more than pride
 Take my love for you take tomorrow too
 There's not much left inside
 
 How we laughed when we first knew love
 Singing dum-de-lum-de-lie
 
 I taught you how to see life through love
 Then I taught you how to cry
 
 And though I must have known
 How easily love is thrown
 I took some chances, I don't know why
 There's not much you can do
 You wish that I'd been true, darlin' so do I
 ♪
 Now you better hold out go on and hold out
 Go ahead and hold out for what you know love can be
 Move on and hold out don't let your love be sold out
 If there's anyone who knows about it baby that's me
 ♪
 Ah you're right, you can't forget the way I lied
 Time has seen you grow to lead your life alone
 Though you tried and tried, cried and cried
 Baby I guess you know my story
 
 Maybe there's not much left to say
 You know the more we talk the more we
 Turn each other's hearts away
 Now I'll be leaving in the morning
 Leaving half of me behind
 To find the pieces life's been torn in
 And take whatever love I find
 But you better hold out, go on and hold out
 Just walk away and hold out for what you know love can be
 Move on and hold out don't let your love be sold out
 It's starting to be cold out for people who live like me
 Move on and hold out and somewhere later no doubt
 You'll find another hold out
 Someone just like you baby, wait and see
