We held on darling we held on baby we hold on to what we had
They couldn't break us up baby
We held on baby we held on baby we held on to what we had
One two three you and me baby we held on to what we had
People on a showstop tryin' to play God claiming to know just when
And where you're gonna fall
When they don't know nothin' they said we'd last six months and no more
But that was fifteen long years ago
We're still together now baby we held on...
[ piano ]
Now they came after us from the left and the right
We had to put up one heck of a fight
Yeah we hit 'em where it hurts they said our love was a big mistake
And I laughed when you told 'em to go jump in the lake go jump in the lake
We held on baby we held on...
They tried everything to stop us but we held on...
