He asked me for some straight advice
Oh, I've got stories I could tell
But hidden just behind your eyes
There's a look I know well

You've come on trouble times with her
And now you set your sights on me
Well, pretty as that song would be
We've got the wrong key

And one thing I can tell, you've got to
Hold on to love (Just hold on to love)
'Cause what you treated for is never enough
You've got to think twice when temptation finds you
Run on to your love and leave the others behind you

Roll up your sleeves (Just roll up your sleeves)
'Cause nothing's precious if you get it for free
And fill a night-time with sweet love and ways
And leave her every morning with a smile on her face

Another time, another place
I warm myself beside your fire
'Cause every feeling has its place
You can selfish desire

But I've been on the other side
And I won't make that mistake again
'Cause anyway that you roll the dice
Nobody wins

Oh, take it from a friend, you've got to
Hold on to love (Just hold on to love)
It doesn't always have to fit like a glove
You've got to think back of all that you've come through
Show her every day she's still the only one

Hold on to love (Just hold on to love)
And don't you weaken when the going gets rough
Sometimes you play it back and give her some space
And leave her every morning with a smile on her face

You've come on trouble times with her
And now you set your sights on me
Well, pretty as that song would be
We've got the wrong key

And one thing I can tell, you've got to
Hold on to love (Just hold on to love)
'Cause what you treated for is never enough
You've got to think twice when temptation finds you
Run on to your love and leave the others behind you

Roll up your sleeves (Just roll up your sleeves)
'Cause nothing's precious if you get it for free
