The Hollies

Hold On

(Allan Clarke)

Track 3 on album 'Distant Light' june 1971



Standing on a corner

Nothing on my mind

When walked past a woman

She looked my kind



I said a hey there woman

What you got to do

She took one look at me and said baby

I'd like to be with you



Hold on



Wait a minute woman

I ain't the kind to phase

And I ain't that kind of woman, baby

So she says



She led me to a dwellin'

Just along the street

The best part of town baby

We gotta be discreet



Hold on (Hold on)



Break



Got to the apartment

Number six sixteen

My, what a place it was

Best I've ever seen



She headed to the bedroom

Came upon the door

Wait a minute, darling

While I slip into something cool



I was getting excited

One thing on mind

When she rushed out of the bedroom

Said You'd better hide



She slowed me my movements

He caught me by the door

What was left on me, baby

Was landing on the floor



Hold On
