Manhattan Transfer - LET'S HANG ON lyrics

There ain't no good in our goodbye-in'

True love takes a lot of tryin',

Oh, I'm cryin'

(Chorus)

Let's hang on to what we've got

Don't let go, girl; we've got a lot

Got a lot of love between us

Hang on, hang on, hang on, to what we got

Dooh doot! Dooh doot! Dooh doot!

(Verse 1)

You say you're gonna go and call it quits,

Gonna chuck it all and break our love to bits

I wish you'd never said it (just breakin' up, forget it)

Oh no, we'll both regret it (Just breakin' up, and you'll regret it)

(Verse 2)

That little chip of diamond on your hand

Ain't a fortune, baby, but you know it stands

A love to tie and bind ya (just for your love, the love babe)

We just can't leave behind us (only the love, just for the love babe)

Baby, (don't you go)

Baby, (oh no no)

Think it over and stay - ay!

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse 3)

There isn't anything I wouldn't do

I'd pay any price to get in good with you

Give me a second turnin'

(Then patch it up, come get it)

Don't cool off when I'm burnin'

(then patch it up, you won't regret it)

(Verse 4)

You've got me cryin', dyin' at your door

Don't shut me out, ooh let me in once more

Your arms I need to hold you

(then open up and mend it)

Your heart, oh girl, I love you

(just open up. Then you will mend it)

Baby, (don't you go)

Baby, (oh no no)

(Repeat Chorus)

(Breakdown)

Hangin' on to what we got

(let's hang on)

Let's hang on to what we got

(we're hangin' on)

Hangin' on to what we got

(let's hang on)

Let's hang on to what we got

(we're hangin' on)

Hangin' on to what we got

Let's hang on-on-on

(Repeat Chorus)
