Let's Hang On!

About Let's Hang On!

"Let's Hang On!" is a song composed by Bob Crewe, Sandy Linzer, and Denny Randell that was popularized by The Four Seasons in 1965. The single reached the No. 3 position in the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, the group's highest placement since "Rag Doll" hit the top spot in July 1964. This was the last Four Seasons hit to feature bass singer/bassist Nick Massi. The same month "Let's Hang On!" was released, Massi left the group and was temporarily replaced by the band's arranger Charles Calello before Joe Long came in as Massi's full-time replacement. The popularity of "Let's Hang On!" has been attributed to the inclusion of several devices into the recording: a two-line introduction (sung by lead singer Frankie Valli), the use of two fuzz guitars (one guitarist playing low notes, another playing high notes on a fuzz bass), a chorus loaded with hooks and sung in falsetto, and backing vocals giving counterpoint with Valli's lead vocal. It re-established the group's presence in the Top Ten (of the Hot 100) as The Four Seasons were in a flurry of activity, recording albums both as The Four Seasons and as supporting musicians for Valli's rekindled "solo" career. In the UK, the song was a No. 4 hit for the group. The single's B-side, "On Broadway Tonight", was the theme of a CBS-TV variety series (1964–1965) hosted by Rudy Vallee. more »

There ain't no good in our goodbyein'
True love takes a lot of tryin'
Oh, I'm cryin'

Let's hang on to what we've got
Don't let go, girl, we've got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
Hang on, hang on, hang on to what we've got

You say you're gonna go and call it quits
Gonna chuck it all and break our love to bits
Break it up (I wish you'd never said it)
Break it up (oh no, we'll both regret it)
That little chip of diamond on your hand
Ain't a fortune , baby
But you know it stands for the love, (a love to tie and bind ya)
Such a love (we just can't leave behind us)
Baby (don't you know?)
Baby (don't you go)
Think it over and stay

Let's hang on to what we've got
Don't let go, girl, we've got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
Hang on, hang on, hang onto what we've got

There isn't anything I wouldn't do
I'd pay any price to get in good with you
Patch it up (give me a second turnin')
Patch it up (don't cool off while I'm burnin')

You've got me cryin', dyin' at you door
Don't shut me out, ooh, let me in once more
Open up (your arms, I need to hold you)
Open up (your heart, oh girl, I love you)

Baby, don't you know?
Baby, no, no, no
Think it over and stay

Let's hang on to what we've got
Don't let go, girl, we've got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
Hang on, hang on, hang on to what we've got
