[Instrumental Intro]

[Chorus]
Baby, hold on to me
Whatever will be, will be
The future is ours to see
So, baby hold on to me

[Verse 1]
Baby, what's these things
You've been sayin' about me
Behind my back?
Is it true you might want a better life?
Is it true you think
That these things are lies, now?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Think about it, baby
I'm gonna take you to the top

[Chorus]
So baby, hold on to me
Whatever will be, will be
(Cause the), the future is ours to see
When you hold on to me
[Verse 2]
Hey-ey, baby
You know the future's lookin' brighter
Every mornin', when I get up
Don't be thinkin' 'bout what's not enough now, baby
Just be thinkin' 'bout what we got

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Think of all my love, now
I'm gonna give you all I got

[Chorus]
So baby, hold on to me
Whatever will be, will be
The future is ours to see
When you hold on to me

Oh-oh, rich man, poor man, now
Really don't mean all that much
Mama's always told you, girl
That money can't buy you love

[Chorus]
So baby, hold on to me
Whatever will be, will be
The future is ours to see
When you hold on to me
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Baby, hold on to me
Whatever will be, will be
The future is ours to see
When you hold on to me

Uh, huh! Hold on to me tighter
I'm never gonna leave ya, now
Can't you please believe now?
Never gonna let you go
So, hold on to me tighter

Baby, hold on to me
Whatever will be, will be
