Paragraph Lyric
(Joe Tex - Lois Johnson)

We held on, darling,
We held on, baby
We held on to what we had
They couldn't break us up, baby.

We held on, baby
We held on, baby
We held on to what we had
One, two, three
You and me, baby
We held on to what we had.

People on a showstop tryin' to play God
Claiming to know just when and where you're gonna fall
When they don't know nothin'
They said we'd last six months and no more
But that was fifteen long years ago
We're still together now, baby.

We held on, baby
We held on, baby
We held on to what we had
One, two, three
You and me, baby
We held on to what we had.

--- Instrumental ---

Now they came after us
From the left and the right
We had to put up one heck of a fight
Yeah, we hit 'em where it hurts
they said our love was a big mistake
And I laughed when you told 'em to go jump in the lake,
Go jump in the lake.
We held on baby.

We held on, baby
We held on, baby
We held on to what we had
One, two, three
You and me, baby
We held on to what we had.

They tried everything to stop us but,

We held on, baby
We held on, baby
We held on to what we had
One, two, three
You and me, baby
We held on to what we had...
