Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh
  Oh yeah, uh-huh
    Listen
  Holding back the years
  Thinking about the fear I've had so long
  Will somebody here listen
  Listen to the fear that's gone
    Strangled by the wishes I begged for
  Hoping for the unmade for
  To get to me the sooner or later
  Oh Lord
    Ooh
  Holding back the years
  Chance for me to escape from all I know
  And uh holding back the tears yeah
  Cause nothing here is wrong, oh Lord
    I've wasted all my tears yeah
  (Ain't no reason, no)
  Wasted all those years
  (Too many, too many they just go by)
  Nothing had the chance to be good, no, no
  Nothing ever could, oh no
    But I'll keep holding on
  (Gotta keep holding on)
  I'll keep holding on
  (Never let go no, no, no)
  I'll keep holding on
  (Gotta keep holding on)
  I'll keep holding on
    Take your time, take your time
  Suga take your time
  Take your time
  Take your time, take your time
  Suga take your time
  Take your time
    Oh now
  I've wasted all my tears
  Wasted all those, those lonely, lonely years
  Nothing had the chance to be good
  Nothing ever could
    I'll keep holding on
  (Gotta keep holding on)
  I'll keep holding on
  (Never let go no, no, no)
  I'll keep holding on
  (Gotta keep holding on)
  I'll keep holding on
  Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Gotta just keep, keep
  Keep holding on
  No matter how tired
  Gotta just keep, keep
  Keep pressing on
  As weary as it may seem... [repeat 4x]
    Think it's a love song
  Pull back, pulsate
  Gonna keep holding on
  Never, never, never let go
  Oh yeah
  I'll keep holding on
