Help Is on the Way (Girlfriends) Songtext
von Betty Wright

I′d like to dedicate this to all my girl friends in the business
It gets a little rough sometime
Just hang on in there help is on the way

Hold on
Everything will be okay
What's the matter girl
Did you forget to pray?
(Did you forget to pray?)
So what if he said
In love with you he′d stay
Then he met a girl
Who stole his heart away

So you cry (You cry)
All night (All night)
And you sigh (And you sigh)
All day (All day)
But don't give hope


Help is on the way
(Don't you give up)
Help is on the way

Mmm-mmm, hm

Hold on
One day the sun will shine
(The sun will shine)
These are hard times believe me I′ve had mine
When not a friend in this old world
You can find
You feel alone (Feel so all alone)
Like you′ll loose your mind

And you weep (You weep)
And you moan (And you moan)
Lie awake (Lie awake)
All night long (Night long)
But just you be strong

Help is on the way
(Oh, it's right around the corner)
Help is on the way

Oh yes,


You see, expecting heaven that′s what hell is all about
You know, I've been thinking about all the things
I′ve been through in my little short life and
It gets rough sometime but you just gotta hang on in there, you know

You got all these rookies coming up
Wannabes, gonnabes, maybe and whatever
Taking up a whole lotta space from the women of good taste
But you just hold on, take it from me

Just hold on (Hold on)
I said hold on (Hold on)
I said hold on (Hold on)
Help is on the way

Don't you worry ′bout a thang Patti, everything's gonna be alright
If you don't know it by now you′re not own your own Patti
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Chaka, you can go through the fire or you can go through the fire
Or you can make if you take it you can make it, girl
I got faith in you

Dionne, anyone who had a heart could see that help is on the way
It′s on the way, it's on the way oh, oh, woah-oh
Anita, just keep giving it the best you got, the best you got
Ooh, ooh
Help is on the way

Regina, I know you can make it like it was
If you just hang on in there
It′ll be the way it used to be
Yeah just hold

Take it from me sister Betty says hang on in there
Just hang on in there
God needs somebody to hang just hang on in there
Hold on (Help is on the way)

Help is on the way
It's on the way, it′s on the way
I can feel it, I can feel it, I can feel it, ha
It's on the way
Help is on the
it′s on the way
