Written by Natalie Cole, Marvin Yancy and Kevin Yancy)



You know, of all the things in the world I'd miss



It would probably be music and love



They say you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone



That's so true



Even though we still take it for granted



And I used to be like that but not anymore



'Cause I found out what love really means



Love means happiness and dedication



Love will sometimes bring complications



But you must have faith and a whole lot of trust



Most of all you can never give up just



(Hold on, hold on)



Hold on to your good thing, yeah



(Hold on, hold on) forget about the small things



(Hold on, hold on) do it for love, do it for love



And remember that love is a feeling



But it's also an action, yes



You've got to give sometime



If you want to get back some, well



And when all the king's horses



And even all the king's men



Can't put it together again



That is exactly when you've got to



(Hold on, hold on) hold on to what you've got



(Hold on, hold on)



It's the little things that mean alot



(Hold on, hold on) do it for love, do it for love



In spite of everything, no matter what



You've got to H-O-L-D on (you gotta hold on)



Hold on, hmm, hmm, hmm, ooh, oh, oh



You're so hard headed



'Cause you feel that you're right



Well, tell me how you gonna feel



In the middle of the night



All alone, all alone



I know, I know



It doesn't matter who's right or wrong



If you feel so inclined



To blame that shame on someone else



Ooh, stop and think about it



Point the finger at yourself



Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo



Hold on to your good thing (hold on)



Forget about the small (hold on) things



(Hold on) And hold on



Hold on, oh hold on (hold on)



Real tight in spite of everything



Hold on (hold on)



When you feel like walking out that door
