In a cold, dark room
A wisper at the door
Say, "Let me show you love like never before"
Warm hands hold her
His voice sounds strong and sure
Inside she's frightened
Emotions begin to stir
Chorus
Hold on! hold out!
This love's not where it's at
Hold on! Hold out!
You know you gotta believe in love
The cost of his love
Seems a high price to pay
At that moment "no" was the only word
She would say
Unside she's empty
He's not there anymore
Said "I don't love you"
As he walked out that door
Chorus
As the years went by
She met a man who cared
His love and respect for her
Made her glad she dared
Hold on, girl! Hold out!
