Baby, close that suitcase you've been packin' Just sit down and talk to me awhile I know you tried to tell me what was lackin' But I guess I must have missed it by a mile Well, this time girl I swear to you I'll listen Help me understand where I went wrong It's hard to find myself in this position Scared that I'll go crazy once you're gone Help me hold on to what we had Once our love was strong, it can be again You said it takes two to make love last You were right all along, so help me hold on What have I got to do to make it better What have I got to do to make you see That even though I promised you forever I never knew how hard that would be I realize I took your love for granted But I've learned that love worth having don't come free And I'll pay any price it takes to keep you Satisfied and staying here with me Help me hold on to what we had Once our love was strong, it can be again You said it takes two to make love last You were right all along, so help me hold on Help me hold on to what we had Once our love was strong, it can be again You said it takes two to make love last You were right all along, so help me hold on You were right all along, so help me hold on
