I'm Gonna Hold on as Long as I Can Songtext
von The Marvelettes

Ooh, time is running out
On this poor heart of mine, oh yeah
And the whole world seems stopped around
Without you by my side, yes it does

Oh, I realize I′m not the one you want
But understand me, you're the one I need

So I′m gonna hold on, long as I can
Hold tight as I can, oh
Hold on, long as I can
(Holdin' tight as I can) mmh listen

Words don't come easy
With these teardrops in my eyes, alright
And I′m walking around in a circle
Just like one helpless child, yes I am

Oh, I realize that things have changed
But love, sweet, sweet memories still remain


I′m gonna hold on, long as I can
Oh, yes I am
Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey (hey-hey, hey-hey)
Hold on, long as I can
Alright (holdin' tight as I can)
Cause I love ya (cause I love ya)

Yeah, every beat of my heart
Keeps tellin′ me to hold on
Mmh, every day that we're apart
Is tellin′ me to hold on

Oh, cause every morning, about the break of dawn
I reach out to touch him, and find him gone
I look in my mirror, my eyes are red
From cryin' all night long, from the things you said

But still I′m gonna hold on, long as I can
Oh, yes I am (holdin' tight as I can)
I've got to, got to hold on, long as I can
Cause I love ya, you′re my man
I know I′ve got to hold on
Long, long, long, long, long as I can
(Holdin' tight as I can) oh yes I am
