| 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 |
