I've been holdin' out
   I've been hiding from the light
   Sneakin' down the back streets
   Sneakin' down the back streets
   But no longer, can I hide my eyes
   From the city night
  
   And soon as love finds me I will go
   No I won't, say no
   As soon as love finds me (when it finds me)
   I will go
  
   Now I've had my share
   Of one night affairs
   When I was a little younger
   (just a little younger)
   Well it wasn't love
   But we really didn't care
   It was close enough
  
   And as soon as love finds me I will go
   No I won't, say no
   As soon as love finds me (when it finds me)
   I will go
  
   All my life I pretended
   You know I'd go through the motions
   It's never been love
   It's always been wrong
   It's gotta be right on time this time
   I need deep devotion
   It's gonna be real emotion
   Or I refuse to love
  
   I've been holdin' out
   I've been hiding from the light
   Sneakin' down the back streets
   Sneakin' down the back streets
   But no longer, can hide my eyes
   From the city nights
  
   And as soon as love finds me I will go
   No I won't, say no
   As soon as love finds me (Oooh when it finds me)
   I will go
   I will go
  
   No I won't, say no
   As soon as love finds me (Oooh when it finds me)
   I will go
   I will go
