Lyrics
There ain’t no good in our goodbyes
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 got a lot, we’ve got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
Hang on, hang on, hang on
To what we’ve got
To what we’ve got
To what we’ve got
You say you’re gonna go and call it quits
Gonna chuck it all and break our love to bits
Break it up
I wish you’d never said it
Break it up
Oh, 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 the love
A love to tie and bind you
Such a love
We just can’t leave behind us
Baby
Don’t you know
Baby
Don’t you go
Think it over and stay
Let’s hang on to what we’ve got
Don’t let go girl we got a lot, we’ve got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
Hang on, hang on, hang on
To what we’ve got
To what we’ve got
To what we’ve got
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 turnin’
Patch it up
Don’t cool off while I’m burnin’
You’ve got me cryin’ dyin’ at your door
Don’t shut me out
Ooh let me in once more
Open up
Your arms I need to hold you
Open up
Your heart, oh girl I love you
Baby
Don’t you know
Baby
Don’t you go
Think it over and stay
Let’s hang on, to what we’ve got
Don’t let go girl we got a lot, we’ve got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
Hang on, hang on, hang on
