Text: Chicago. Chicago 17. Please Hold On.

Do you love me? Do you need me?
Tell me the truth tonight
Do you love me? Do you need me?
Can I still call you mine?

I've heard the same old story so many times
For every lie you've told me
I'd be a rich man if I had a dime

Why do you take me? Why do you rake me?
Over your red hot coals
Why do you scold me after you hold me?
Why do you turn so cold?

The lad's constant cruisin' explains the tears
The lonely path she's
If I didn't love her would I still be here

Hold on, stay with me
The fantasies best left behind
Hold on to hell and just believe
And love that won't blind you
Don't leave me behind you
Stand with me lady now don't go

Do you love me? Do you need me?
Tell me the truth this time
Do you love me? Do you need me?
Can I still call you mine?

Soft lights and quiet music forgets your name
Some people try to use it
But loneliness chooses the rules to the game

Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, don't you leave me behind

Please hold on, stay with me
Loneliness will leave you blind
Please hold on, stay with me
Fall in love with me this time

Please hold on, stay with me
