rate me

Song by Angie Stone<br /><br>

Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh<br>

Oh yeah, uh-huh<br>

<br>

Listen<br>

Holding back the years<br>

Thinking about the fear I've had so long<br>

Will somebody here listen<br>

Listen to the fear that's gone<br>

<br>

Strangled by the wishes I begged for<br>

Hoping for the unmade for<br>

To get to me the sooner or later<br>

Oh Lord<br>

<br>

Ooh<br>

Holding back the years<br>

Chance for me to escape from all I know<br>

And uh holding back the tears yeah<br>

Cause nothing here is wrong, oh Lord<br>

<br>

I've wasted all my tears yeah<br>

(Ain't no reason, no)<br>

Wasted all those years<br>

(Too many, too many they just go by)<br>

Nothing had the chance to be good, no, no<br>

Nothing ever could, oh no<br>

<br>

But I'll keep holding on<br>

(Gotta keep holding on)<br>

I'll keep holding on<br>

(Never let go no, no, no)<br>

I'll keep holding on<br>

(Gotta keep holding on)<br>

I'll keep holding on<br>

<br>

Take your time, take your time<br>

Suga take your time<br>

Take your time<br>

Take your time, take your time<br>

Suga take your time<br>

Take your time<br>

<br>

Oh now<br>

I've wasted all my tears<br>

Wasted all those, those lonely, lonely years<br>

Nothing had the chance to be good<br>

Nothing ever could<br>

<br>

I'll keep holding on<br>

(Gotta keep holding on)<br>

I'll keep holding on<br>

(Never let go no, no, no)<br>

I'll keep holding on<br>

(Gotta keep holding on)<br>

I'll keep holding on<br>

Oh, oh, oh, oh<br>

<br>

Gotta just keep, keep<br>

Keep holding on<br>

No matter how tired <br>

Gotta just keep, keep<br>

Keep pressing on<br>

As weary as it may seem... [repeat 4x]<br>

<br>

Think it's a love song<br>

Pull back, pulsate<br>

Gonna keep holding on<br>

Never, never, never let go<br>

Oh yeah<br>

I'll keep holding on<br>

<br>
