Hmm, yeah, yeah, yeah
Holding on
Holding back and holding on
And holding in my love

Taking time to move you to the side
Moving slow, steady goes
Your body and your mind
When we go I won't leave you behind
Spread your wings tonight we're gonna fly

I've been holding on so long
But I've got to let you go
Holding on so long
I'm about to explode

Holding on so long
And my love got to flow
Holding on so long
Hmm, yeah, yeah

Once again start and end
Second time around
Keep it up please don't make it sound
Hold on tight, don't ever leave pride

I've been holding on so long
But I've got to let go
Holding on so long
I'm about to explode

Holding on so long
And all my love got to flow
Holding on so long
Holding on long there

I've been holding on so long
But I've got to let go
I've been holding on so long
I'm about to explode
I've been holding on so long
And my love got to flow
Holding on so long

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Holding, holding on so long
Me got to let go
Oh, I've been holding on too long
