Love can be hard sometimes

Yes, it can catch you off guard like bad crimes

Yes, it can make you depressed and angry

Make you say: "Why me, why won't anybody try me?"



Might be saying: "Ooh, I don't wanna be lonely"

"Ooh, I don't wanna be by myself"

"Ooh, don't wanna be lonely"

"Why ain't anybody lovin' me?"



But there's always someone out there who'll be there for you

There is always someone out there who will care for you

There's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true

Hold on, hold on, be strong



Love can go away forever if you push it

And you have to remember: don't rush it

If it ain't right, it is wrong

And you'll be crying: "Why me, why won't anybody try me?"



You might be saying: "Ooh, I don't wanna be lonely"

"Ooh, I don't wanna be by myself"

"Ooh, don't wanna be lonely"

"Why ain't anybody lovin' me?"



Now, but there's always someone out there who'll be there for you

And there's always someone out there who will care for you

There's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true

Hold on, hold on, be strong



And yes, there's always someone out there who'll be there for you

And there's always someone out there who will care for you

There's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true

Hold on, hold on, be strong



Hold on, hold on, be strong

My child, hold on, hold on, be strong
