Just Keep Holding On

(album: Soul Men - 1967)

Listen
I know I was wrong so many times, yeah
And just like the average man, it's hard to walk a chalk line
But, in my heart I know there's no one else like you
Sing church for me, Dave, sing church for me
But, I'll make it up to you if you will only help to see me through

Just keep holding on (Keep holding on)
Just keep holding on (Just keep)
Now listen to me
Say it

I know your friend said, Dave, a long time ago that I was no good
Well maybe, well maybe they right, I don't know
I didn't even treat ya like I should have, you know
I remember the times when, you know
You used to sit home alone late at night by yourself
And, oh, you used to cry (Ohh)
The only thing you ever asked of me, you said:
"Sam, just be here by my side", heh!
But if you just give me just one more try
To wipe the tears from your weeping eyes, baby
I'll be the water when you're thirsty (Say it!)
And a towel to dry your hands, now listen to this
I'll be anything you want me to be
And all I'm asking you to do is let me prove I'll be your true man (Ohh)

Just keep holding on
Just keep holding on
Dave, I wonder can you say it by yourself
Just keep holding on
I wonder can I get somebody to help me say
Just keep holding on
Everybody help me say it
Just keep holding on
I wanna join you now and I wanna say
Just keep Just keep holding on
Just keep holding on
Keep, aww, yeah
Just keep holding on
Say it for me
