Put your hand up, put your hand up

Put your hands up, put 'em up

Put your hand in the air if you know you got a good one

I got a good one, yeah, I got a good one, yeah, yeah

So put your hands in the air if you know you got a good one



Where do you come from, baby?

What are you doin' with me?

Have I gone through hard times?

So I can see you at the end of it all



And I know I almost lost it

I even gave up on it

But now I got it and I

Swear I'm only givin' my all



All that it takes, yes, I'm willin'

Let's go for the long haul

No matter how the chips may fall



We gotta build it up, make it unbreakable, yeah

'Cause the record shows and I know

That most people, baby, don't know how to stay in love



I know how to break up

I know how to leave someone

But, baby, I wanna learn how to stay



And I know how to say goodbye

When the waters run dry

So, baby, baby, hold it down

'Cause I wanna stick around



And you make me wanna, baby

Cry like I never ever

Boy, you know I'm in this

So focused and committed to want it



I know I want somethin' you know

Not what I'm not used to 'cause I

I can fake it, be complacent

But it won't be long till I'm gone, no



And all that it takes, yes, I'm willin'

Let's go for the long haul

No matter how the chips may fall



We gotta build it up, make it unbreakable, yeah

'Cause the record shows and I know

That most people, baby, don't know how to stay in love



I know how to break up

I know how to leave someone

But, baby, I wanna learn how to stay



And I know how to say goodbye

When the waters run dry

So, baby, baby, hold it down

'Cause I wanna stick around



See we're here today or gone tomorrow

Fallin' in love, time's gettin' rough

We're breakin' up, here comes the rebound

  (Besides the pain just falls around)



But we're here today, we'll be here tomorrow

We fell in love, times will get rough

No, I don't wanna say goodbye and walk away

I wanna change and learn how to stay



  (I know how to break up)

I don't wanna walk away

  (I know how to leave someone)

No, I wanna learn how to stay



  (I know how to say goodbye)

Say goodbye

  (When the waters run dry)

When they run dry

Hold me down, hold me down, baby



  (I know how to break up)

Break up

  (I know how to leave someone)

Leave someone

But, baby, I wanna learn how to stay



I know how to say goodbye

  (When the waters run dry)

When they run dry, when they run dry

Baby, hold me down

I wanna stick around, baby
