Hold On

Verse 1:

I worked hard, baby, night and day

The things I had somebody took away

They took away everything I earned

But there's one lesson that'a I have learned

Chorus:

You got to hold on, little girl, to what you've got (4x)

Verse 2:

I been pushed and I been knocked down

But I picked myself right back up off the ground

And baby there's one thing that I have found

Fighting's the only way's to stand your ground

Chorus:

You got to hold on, little girl, to what you've got (4x)

Bridge:

I've been used, I've been abused

I've had, baby, my regrets

I've been lost, I paid the cost

But there's one thing I ain't gonna forget

Verse 3:

I've heard some hard lines, I've seen some cryin' times

Bad luck and trouble they been friends of mine

Got to stand straight and stare right at your face (fate? )

And play it hard before it's too late

Chorus:

You got to hold on, little girl, to what you've got (8x)
