It's not in the way that you hold me   It's not in the way you say you care   It's not in the way you've been treating my friends   It's not in the way that you stayed till the end   It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do      Hold the line, love isn't always on time   Hold the line, love isn't always on time      It's not in the way that you told me, girl   It's not in the way you say you're mine   It's not in the way that you came back to me   It's not in the way that your love set me free   It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do      Hold the line, love isn't always on time   Hold the line, love isn't always on time      It's not in the way that you came back to me   It's not in the way that your love set me free   It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do      Hold the line   Hold the line!
