Track Lyrics
VERSE 1
THE MAN YOU SEE BEFORE YOU AIN'T BROKEN
THOUGH THE SCARS OF MY PASSION RUN DEEP
(DEEP, DEEP)
THEY SAY LOVE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS
BUT I GAVE UP COUNTING
LONELY NIGHTS WITHOUT YOU, LOSING SLEEP
VERSE 2
CAN'T YOU SEE I FOUGHT SO HARD TO GET YOU
I SURE AIN'T GONNA LET YOU GET AWAY
(NO, NO)
THERE'S ONLY ONE PRINCIPLE
LOVE IS INVICIBLE
BUT SOMETIMES THE PAIN IS THE PRICE
THAT YOU PAY
CHORUS
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO
HOLD ON TO
WHATEVER MAKES OUR LOVE GROW
WOH, WOH, WOH
HOLD ON TO, HOLD ON TO
WHATEVER MAKES OUR LOVE GROW
VERSE 3
SO I STAND BEFORE YOU, NOT PLEADING
EVERYBODY HAS A DREAM TO KEEP
(OOH, OOH)
YOU CAN SPEND YOUR LIFE SEARCHING
BUT YOU WON'T CURE THE HURTING
THERE AIN'T SUCH A THING
AS A BETTER LIFE WITHOUT ME
VERSE 4
OOH, CAN'T YOU SEE I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE YOU
I'VE BEEN DOWN THE LONELY ROAD OF SHAME
(SHAME, SHAME)
I'VE SPENT MY LIFE LEARNING
TWISTING AND TURNING
AND YOU CAN WIN IF YOU PLAY
BY THE RULES OF THE GAME
CHORUS
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO
HOLD ON TO
WHATEVER MAKES OUR LOVE GROW
WOH, WOH, WOH
HOLD ON TO, HOLD ON TO
WHATEVER MAKES OUR LOVE GROW
MIDDLE 8
INSTRUMENTAL
CHORUS
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO
HOLD ON TO
WHATEVER MAKES OUR LOVE GROW
WOH, WOH, WOH
HOLD ON TO, HOLD ON TO
WHATEVER MAKES OUR LOVE GROW
