Intro: 1. You know how you say you're gonna give love. Using the wrong one everytime. You start thinkin,no one could ever live up, to the dream that's in your mind. I thought that I was just unlucky, or maybe born to be blue. Chorus: Now I know the reason, for the pain life's put put me thru. I was holdin out for you. I was holdin out for you. 2. Sometimes you do the right thing without knowin. Like when I looked into your eyes. Without a warning, this feeling started growing. All at once I realized. That we were mean't to be together. I-I-I just had to pay my dues. Chorus Bridge: I may not always know the answer. But I celebrate the times I do-oo.... Chorus--Yea Ah! Inst. Now I know the reason. Now I know the reason. Now I know----A-C#m7 I was holdin out for you-oo. I was a holdin out, holdin out for you. All my days, I've been holdin' out, Oh I've----been holdin out for you.
