Lyrics
There ain’t no good in our goodby-in’
True love takes, a lot of tryin’ oh I’m cryin’
Let’s hang on, to what we’ve got
Don’t let go girl, we’ve got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
(Hang on, hang on, hang on)
To what we’ve got
(Do-do, do-do, do-do)
You say you’re gonna go and call it quits
Gonna chuck it all and break our love to bits
(Breakin’ up) I wish you’d never said it (breakin’ up)
No, no we’ll both regret it
That little chip of diamond on your hand
Ain’t a fortune baby but you know it stands
(For your love) A love to tie and bind us (such a love)
We just can’t leave behind us
Baby (don’t you go) Baby (oh no no) Baby
Sta-ay, let’s hang on
To what we’ve got
Don’t let go girl, we’ve got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
(Hang on, hang on, hang on)
To what we’ve got
(Do-do, do-do, do-do)
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do
I’d pay any price to get in good with you
(Patch it up) Give me a second turning (patch it up)
Don’t cool off while I’m burning
You’ve got me cryin dyin’ at your door
Don’t shut me out let me in once more
(Open up) Your arms I need to hold you (open up)
Your heart oh, girl I told you
Baby (don’t you go) Baby (oh no no) Baby
Sta-ay
Let’s hang on (girl) to what we’ve got (girl)
Don’t let go girl, we’ve got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
(Hang on, hang on, hang on)
To what we’ve got
(Do-do, do-do, do-do)
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh…
