Jackson Browne — Hold Out lyrics

Lyrics

Baby I guess you know my story
Baby I guess you’ve heard my side
It seems I’ve traded love for glory
But I’m still not satisfied
Given all the years all the cries and cheers
Don’t amount to much more than pride
Take my love for you take tomorrow too
There’s not much left inside
How we laughed when we first knew love
Singing dum-de-lum-de-lie
I taught you how to see life through love
Then I taught you how to cry
And though I must have known
How easily love is thrown
I took some chances, I don’t know why
There’s not much you can do You wish that I’d been true, darlin' so do I Now you better hold out go on and hold out
Go ahead and hold out for what you know love can be Move on and hold out don’t let your love be sold out
If there’s anyone who knows about it baby that’s me Ah you’re right, you can’t forget the way I lied
Time has seen you grow to lead your life alone
Though you tried and tried, cried and cried
Baby I guess you know my story
Maybe there’s not much left to say
You know the more we talk the more we Turn each other’s hearts away
Now I’ll be leaving in the morning
Leaving half of me behind
To find the pieces life’s been torn in And take whatever love I find
But you better hold out, go on and hold out
Just walk away and hold out for what you know love can be Move on and hold out don’t let your love be sold out
It’s starting to be cold out for people who live like me Move on and hold out and somewhere later no doubt
You’ll find another hold out
Someone just like you baby, wait and see
