(written by natalie cole, marvin yancy and kevin yancy) You know, of all the things in the world I'd miss It would probably be music and love They say you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone That's so true Even though we still take it for granted And I used to be like that but not anymore 'cause I found out what love really means Love means happiness and dedication Love will sometimes bring complications But you must have faith and a whole lot of trust Most of all you can never give up just (hold on, hold on) Hold on to your good thing, yeah (hold on, hold on) forget about the small things (hold on, hold on) do it for love, do it for love And remember that love is a feeling But it's also an action, yes You've got to give sometime If you want to get back some, well And when all the king's horses And even all the king's men Can't put it together again That is exactly when you've got to (hold on, hold on) hold on to what you've got (hold on, hold on) It's the little things that mean alot (hold on, hold on) do it for love, do it for love In spite of everything, no matter what You've got to h-o-l-d on (you gotta hold on) Hold on, hmm, hmm, hmm, ooh, oh, oh You're so hard headed 'cause you feel that you're right Well, tell me how you gonna feel In the middle of the night All alone, all alone I know, I know It doesn't matter who's right or wrong If you feel so inclined To blame that shame on someone else Ooh, stop and think about it Point the finger at yourself Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo Hold on to your good thing (hold on) Forget about the small (hold on) things (hold on) and hold on Hold on, oh hold on (hold on) Real tight in spite of everything Hold on (hold on) When you feel like walking out that door
