Carole King - Hold Out For Love lyrics

Everybody's got a little child inside

Still looking for love

Everything we do is in search of it

Everything we say or think of

And every time we reach for somebody

We're reaching out for love

Everybody's looking for love

Everybody is looking for love

When someone says a kind word

It's music to your ears

Yet somewhere inside you're wondering

If you really deserve to let go of your fears

You want to make a connection, you're looking for a way

To escape the loneliness and the tears

That you've had for years

Everybody's looking for love

Everybody is looking for love

But you know you gotta

Hold out, don't settle for less

Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing

Hold out, you deserve the best

Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing

Hold out for love

Maybe you're looking for security

But without a doubt

You're gonna miss the love you wish you had

'Cause love is what life is all about

Well, if it don't feel right, then don't do it

If the night is dark, don't sell your soul to get through it

Listen to your heart, it'll tell you how to do it

Love will be worth the wait

Everybody's looking for love

Everybody is looking for love

But you know you gotta

Hold out, don't settle for less

Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing

Hold out, you deserve the best

Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing

Hold out for love
