Times are hard, well my spirits weak
  Everything seems to be going wrong
  The outlook's weak, you know I fooled around, well
  Playing the field, yeah, that's when I found
  That your love was real
  No, I haven't treated you so right
  But I won't lose your love without a fight
  
  Got to hold on, to the love we have together
  Hold on, don't you say good-bye
  I want you to tell me now, before we lose forever
  Girl, I don't want to lose you
  Ow, uh, girl, I've got to have your sweet lovin'
  Cause without it girl, I'd just lose my mind
  The way you hold me, comforts me and shows me
  That a love like yours is hard to find
  
  I need your lovin' every day, and night
  Your kinda lovin' makes me feel all right
  
  Gotta hold on to the love we have together
  Ooh...hold on, don't say good-bye
  I want you to tell me now, before we lose forever
  Girl, I don't want to lose you now
  Hey, hey, hey...oh, baby, don't go not now, no, no, baby
  Baby, don't go, I need you by my side, girl
  Yeah, oh yeah, baby, don't go, I love you so
  Oh, and I don't want to lose you
  
  Hold on to what we've got, baby, oh, yeah
  Just can't say good-bye, no, no, not now
  Tell me now, before we lose forever
  Girl, I don't wanna lose you now...
  
  Don't wanna lose you, baby, girl I love you
  Comin' home
