[Verse 1]
All of these nights are long
Hand on my heart you're strong
Got a feeling that you'll survive
These lost and these lonesome times

[Hook]
You can't please somebody
Can't please somebody else
Until you learn to look after yourself
You can't be somebody
Can't be somebody else
You've learned your lesson, put in on the shelf
Hold on my heart
Hold on my heart
Find your stronger parts
Hold on my heart

[Verse 2]
Thinking of him each day
When he is miles away
You know it won't serve you well
It's better for time to tell

[Hook]
You can't please somebody
Can't please somebody else
Until you learn to look after yourself
You can't be somebody
Can't be somebody else
You've learned your lesson, put in on the shelf
Hold on my heart
Hold on my heart
Find your stronger parts
Hold on my heart

[Verse 3]
Though your growing up was hard
Now you're not so easily crushed
Still innocent and strange
All your strength still remains

[Hook]
You can't please somebody
Can't please somebody else
Until you learn to look after yourself
You can't be somebody
Can't be somebody else
You've learned your lesson, put in on the shelf
And hold on my heart
Hold on my heart
Find your stronger parts
Hold on my heart

[Outro]
Hold on my heart
Be the light in the dark
Set yourself apart
And (hold on my)...
Hold on my heart
