Hold On Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

Hold On

Verse 1:
I worked hard, baby, night and day
The things I had somebody took away
They took away everything I earned
But theres one lesson thata I have learned

[chorus]
You got to hold on, little girl, to what youve got [4x]

Verse 2:
I been pushed and I been knocked down
But I picked myself right back up off the ground
And baby theres one thing that I have found
Fightings the only ways to stand your ground

[chorus]
You got to hold on, little girl, to what youve got [4x]

Bridge:
Ive been used, Ive been abused
Ive had, baby, my regrets
Ive been lost, I paid the cost
But theres one thing I aint gonna forget

Verse 3:
Ive heard some hard lines, Ive seen some cryin times
Bad luck and trouble they been friends of mine
Got to stand straight and stare right at your face [fate? ]
And play it hard before its too late

[chorus]
You got to hold on, little girl, to what youve got [8x]
