If you want to keep a woman like me, you got to hold on If you want to see how good it can be, baby, hold on All my friends think that I'm a fool I tell you something honey, they're not that cool If you want to keep a woman like me, you better hold on If you want to know how far we can go, you got to hold on If you take it slow then I got something to show you Baby, hold on All those girls with their empty heads Can't fill 'em up with the lies they've been fed If you want to know how far I can go, you got to hold on She'll give you reasons for her kind You might believe it, but I'm not that blind If you think you need a woman like me, you better hold on If you want to find what I've got on my mind, baby, hold on All this small talk that keeps us apart Is only hiding how we feel in our hearts If you want to keep a woman like me, baby, hold on
