I took her out on Tuesday
I thought that all was well
But then I heard the news today
Seems I shot it straight to hell
She said,
"You better hold on to my heart, or I'm gone"
Oh, you better hold on to my heart, or I'm gone
For all you know
You're all-too-slow
So don't let go
Baby, hold on
Tried again on Thursday
I thought we'd get along
I couldn't find one word to say
When you told me I was wrong
She said,
"You better hold on to my heart, or I'm gone"
Oh, you better hold on to my heart, or I'm gone
Oh, you better hold on to my heart, or I'm gone
Yeah, you better hold on to my heart, or I'm gone
For all you know
You're all-too-slow
So don't let go
Baby, hold on (x2)
(solos)
For all you know
You're all-too-slow
So don't let go
Baby, hold on
For all you know
You're all-too-slow
So don't let go
Hold on
...to my heart or I'm gone
Oh, you better hold on to my heart, or I'm gone
Oh, you better hold on to my heart, or I'm gone
Yeah, you better hold on to my heart, or I'm gone
Oh, you better hold on
Oh, you better hold on
Oh, you better hold on
Oh, you better hold on to my heart, or I'm gone
