Hang On
Alexander O’Neal Lyrics

Looking back on all we've been through
Reflecting on our past experiences together

There's much pain in the past for me and you
We have both experienced a lot of emotional pain in the past

But we're inclined to make mistakes
We are prone to making errors in judgment

'Cause there's no such thing as a perfect mate,
No one is flawless or without imperfections

I must admit, I felt all hope was gone
There was a time when I thought our situation was hopeless

'Till l took time out, to find out, what was wrong?
I had to step back and analyze what was causing our issues

How l know the deal, it's so clear to me
I now understand what our problems are and how to fix them

So do you have the time for me to explain?
Can we have a conversation to discuss my findings?

How l really feel, 'cause I'm hurting
I need to express my true emotions because I'm in pain

I had given up but I love you too much
Although I had given up, I still have strong feelings for you

Baby let's hang on, hang on
Let's work on our relationship together and not give up

I'm not giving up 'cause I love you too much
My love for you is too strong to give up on our relationship

Listen up lady, I don't want to fuss and fight
I want to have a constructive conversation without arguing

We're gonna conversate for the rest of the night
We will talk all night to address our issues

'Cause we've lost time, neglecting one another
Our relationship has suffered because we haven't been paying attention to each other

So, let's start all over and leave no stone uncovered
Let's begin again and address every issue thoroughly

Do you remember the nights making love till daylight?
Do you recall the times we spent together, deeply in love?

How could you forget, the night we met, the evening of ecstasy
That magical first night we met and shared a special moment.

And If you had that in mind then I'm sure that you'll find
Remembering our love can help us work to improve our relationship

That we can take It back to the way it used to be. Yeah
We can go back to the happy times we shared together

So what's it gonna be now
What decision will you make now?

Are you gonna stick around awhile
Will you stay committed to our relationship?

I think that we can work it out
I am confident that we can overcome our issues

'Cause I know you won't let me down
I trust that you will work with me on this and we won't give up on our love
