Paul Williams
Hold On
[Intro]
Well, you might as well quit
If you haven't got it
Well, you might as well quit
If you haven't got it
Well, you might as well

[Verse 1]
Middle of the night, when it comes creepin'
I lay awake, when I should be sleepin'
Like an Agatha Christie mystery durin' intermission
I hold on, I hold on
Workin' every day, livin' for the weekend
I never learned to swim, how did I end up in the deep-end?
Like a champion high diver waitin' for the Olympics
I hold on, I hold on

[Pre-Chorus]
We wrestle with the devil in the flickerin' light
No way to tell who's winnin' the fight

[Chorus]
Well, you might as well quit (hold on)
If you haven't got it (hold on)
Well, you might as well quit (hold on)
If you haven't got it (you're gonna get through it)
Well, you might as well
[Verse 2]
Time and again, it's the same old question
Where am I headin' with this strange obsession?
Like a gambler playin' on when he keeps on losin'
I hold on, I hold on

[Pre-Chorus]
We dance with the devil in the flickerin' light
No way to tell when you're steppin' it right

[Chorus]
Well, you might as well quit (hold on)
If you haven't got it (hold on)
Well, you might as well quit (hold on)
If you haven't got it (you're gonna get through it)
Well, you might as well quit (hold on)
If you haven't got it (hold on)
Well, you might as well quit (hold on)
If you haven't got it (you're gonna get through it)
Well, you might as well

[Verse 3]
Yesterday is dead and gone so, today this life goes on
Got to keep on movin'
Yesterday is dead and gone so, today this life goes on
Got to keep on movin', keep on movin'
[Bridge]
We dance with the devil in the flickerin' light
No way to tell when you're steppin' it right

[Chorus]
Well, you might as well quit (hold on)
If you haven't got it (hold on)
Well, you might as well quit (hold on)
If you haven't got it (you're gonna get through it)
Well, you might as well quit (hold on)
If you haven't got it (oh, you gotta hold on, hold on)
Well, you might as well quit (hold on)
If you haven't got (you know you're gonna get through it)
Well, you might as well quit (hold on)
If you haven't got it (oh, yesterday's dead and gone, hold on)
Well, you might as well quit (hold on)
If you haven't got (you're gonna get through it)
Well, you might as well quit (oh, oh, oh)
If you haven't got it (oh, oh, oh)
You gotta keep on movin' (oh, oh, oh)
If you haven't got (you know you're gonna get through it)

[Outro]
Well, you might as well quit
If you haven't got it
Well, you might as well quit
If you haven't got it
