Beautiful faces just look around
Trying to fake it but you're dragging me down
For such a long time (long time)
And I'm checking it out, getting nowhere fast

You put me through paces, you tell me your lies
Not gonna take it just living to die
For such a long time (long time)
And I've been long enough hung out to dry

Now I'm showing my courage, I'm telling you why
Got my cards on the table, that look in my eye
Only regret is it's taken
So long to spit out

Hold on, love will come back
If you hold on
Give me some slack baby
Hold on, love will come back if we hold on

Hold on, baby get back
I said, hold on
Cut all the flack I said
Hold on, love will come back
If we hold on, hold on
Ain't no mistakin' I spent lots of bread
Setting you up in societies head
For such a long time (long time)
And bailing you out ain't where it's at

You think it's funny, I think it's sad
How could you think all this ain't a drag
It's just the wrong time (wrong time)
To be shutting me out
What's this all about

So I'm showing my courage
I'm telling you why
Got my cards on the table
That look in my eye
Only regret that it's
Taken so long to spit out

Hold on, love will come back
If you hold on
Give me some slack baby
Hold on, love will come back
If we hold on

Hold on, baby get back
I said hold on
Cut all the flack I said
Hold on, love will come back
If we hold on
Hold on
Hold on, love will come back
If you hold on
Give me some slack baby
Hold on, love will come back
If we hold on

Hold on, baby get back
I said hold on
Cut all the flack I said
Hold on, love will come
Back if we hold on
