[Intro: Terri Ellis, En Vogue]
When I (When I) had you (Had you)
I treated you bad
Wrong, my dear
But since, since you went away
Don't you know I (Hang around) sit around (Sit around)
With my head hanging down
And I wonder (Wonder, wonder)
Who's (Who's) loving you (You)

[Refrain: LL Cool J sample]
You know it's funky, funky, funky
You know it's funky—
Another Marley remix
You know it's funky, funky, funky
You know it's funky—
Another Marley remix

[Verse 1: Cindy Herron, En Vogue]
Ooh, my first mistake was
I wanted too much time
I had to have him morning, noon, and night
If I would've known then
The things that I know now
I might not have lost the time I complain about
[Pre-Chorus: En Vogue]
Don't waste your time
Fighting blind minded thoughts of despair

[Chorus: En Vogue & (Cindy)]
Hold on to your love
(You gotta hold on)
Hold on to your love
(Ooh, hoo, baby hold on, oh)
Hold on to your love
(Ooh, you gotta hold on, hey)
Hold on to your love, ooh

[Verse 2: Cindy Herron, En Vogue]
The art of playing games now
Is not the hearts you break
It's 'bout good love you make
When his heart's on fire
Give him love every day
Remember he needs space
Be patient and he'll give his heart to you

[Pre-Chorus: En Vogue]
Don't waste your time
Fighting blind minded thoughts of despair
[Chorus: En Vogue, Cindy Herron]
Hold on to your love
(You got to hold on, hey)
Hold on to your love
(You got to hold on to your love, yeah, hey)
Hold on to your love
(Oh, baby, hold on, oh)
Hold on to your love, ooh
(Baby, hold on)

[Verse 3: Cindy Herron, En Vogue]
Trust and honesty, too
Must be the golden rule
You'll feel the strength of passion in your soul
Burn so deeply within
Oh, the magic that you share
So sacrifice and show how much you care

[Pre-Chorus: En Vogue]
Don't waste your time
Fighting blind minded thoughts of despair

[Chorus: En Vogue, Cindy Herron]
Hold on to your love
(You got to hold on)
Hold on to your love, ooh
(Don't let go, keep the ties)
Hold on to your love
(Hang on tight and don't let go, no)
Hold on to your love, ooh
(School ya but doin' ya but don't let go)
[Refrain: LL Cool J sample]
You know it's funky, funky, funky
You know it's funky—
Another Marley remix
You know it's funky, funky, funky
You know it's funky—
You know it's funky, funky, funky
You know it's funky—
Another Marley remix
You know it's funky, funky, funky
You know it's funky—

[Outro: Cindy Herron, En Vogue, LL Cool J sample]
Hold on
(Inside the remix to make your body sweat, g'wan)
Hold on
Hold on
Have faith
Just keep the fire burning at home (Hold on)
Hey, yeah
He'll come home to you
He'll be there for you
He'll want to have you all the time
Oh, don't fight on little things
Don't be so blinded by thoughts of despair
Oh, by thoughts of despair, yeah
Don't waste your time just fighting little things
Don't mean a thing
You know you love him and he loves you, too
Hey hey, yeah
Hold on, hold on
Hold on to your love
Hold on, hold on
(Marley remix)
Hold on to your love
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
(Marley remix) Hold on
Hold on to your love
Hold on to your love, ooh
Hold on to your love
Hold on to your love, ooh
Hold on, hold on
