Got a lot goin on right now
And I need you to hold me (need you to hold me)
Baby don't let me down
Got a lot goin on right now
And I need you beside me (need you beside me)
And when it gets cold
I'm hopin that you're gonna put a cover on me
When it gets cold
And I'm feelin kinda lonely
I'm hopin that you're gonna put a cover on meeee (oooooo
Baby if I break down
Will you catch my tears before they hit the ground (the grooouunnd)
Oh baby if I open my mouth
And let my darkest memories come ooouut
I need you to stick around (need you to stick aroound)

Oh give me something good to feel
Touch me so I know it's real
Make it so I won't forget
And take me far from my regret

Baby don't let me down
Got a lot goin on right now
And I need you to hold me
Oh, baby don't let me down
I got a lot goin on right now
And I need you beside meeeee

I've been looking at you
And you've been holding it down
You work hard and give so much
And even when you sink, you never drown
But when's the last time
Someone took your hand and lay your body down
Put on your favourite sounds
And come and rubbed your head, your shoulders and your back
And made it all about you, baby
Oh, baby
Why can't I take you home with me
And show you everything I've been thinking about all night
Oh, I know you can roam [?]
So I'm gonna take it slow
And see how long
How long can you hold on for me, babe
How long can you hold on
How long can you hold on
Hold on together, babe
How long can you hold on
How long can you hold on
Say what you want
Give you want you need
Baby, it's whatever for you
When I give it all, you should know I got more for ya
Said it's the first time
Someone took your hand and lay your body down
Put on your favourite sounds
And come and rubbed your head, your shoulders and your back
And made it all about you
Oh, baby
Why can't I take you home with me
And show you everything I've been thinking about all night
Oh, I know you can roam [?]
So I'm gonna take it slow
And see how long
How long can you hold on for me, babe
How long can you hold on
How long can you hold on
Hold on together, babe
How long can you hold on
How long can you hold on
Oh, you come in close
Turn me on and the world off
(How long can you hold on)
Oh, I'm getting close
We wanna go on and on
How long can you hold on for me, babe
How long can you hold on
How long can you hold on
Hold on together, babe
How long can you hold on
How long can you hold on
