hold on

Bruce Springsteen

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)
