So glad we've got a good thing

You know you make my heart sing

You are the real thing

You know you make my heart sing

I've longed to have this chance

With you, I feel romance

It's all for love and I want it bad

Seeing you is just a turn on

And loving you, I want to hold on

There's a feeling in my heart

That just won't let you go

I'll hold on, I'll keep on

(I'm holdin on)

I'll keep on, I'll hold on

(I'm holdin' on)

I'll hold on, I'll keep on

I'll hold on to your love

So glad we've got a good thing

You know you make my heart sing

You are the real thing

You know you make my heart sing

So glad we've got a good thing

You know you make my heart sing

You are the real thing

You know you make my heart sing

Seeing you is just a turn on

Loving you, I want to hold on

There's a feeling in my heart

That just won't let you go

I'll hold on, I'll keep on

(I'm holdin' on)

I'll keep on, I'll hold on

(I'm holdin' on)

I'll hold on, I'll keep on

I'll hold on to your love

So glad we've got a good thing

You know you make my heart sing

You are the real thing

You know you make my heart sing

So glad we've got a good thing

You know you make my heart sing

You are the real thing

You know you make my heart sing

So glad we've got a good thing

You know you make my heart sing

You are the real thing

You know you make my heart sing

So glad we've got a good thing

You know you make my heart sing

You are the real thing

You know you make my heart sing

So glad we've got a good thing
