It's not in the way that you hold me
It's not in the way you say you care, no no no
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
I said, I said, hold the line
Love isn't always on time

It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine, no no no
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
I said, I said, hold the line
Love isn't always on time

Come on now, please hold the line

It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine, no no no
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
I said, I said, Hold the line
Love isn't always on time

Might not be there when you want it
Might not be there when you need it
I said, I said, hold the line
Love isn't always on time

I said, I said, hold the line
