Intro: Verse Oh, baby, this time it's a goodbye And you can be sure that I won't cry Our love is just a faded story I'm walking down the road And you've just got to let me go 'Cause, I can't hold on I can't hold on I can't hold on anymore Verse There was once that sweet lullaby And were all those promises just lies Well, I was just a fool to love you I knew it all along I can't look down, I know I'm falling 'Cause, I can't hold on I can't hold on I can't hold on anymore Bridge When you act the way you do I want to scream and shout You keep on a-playing games I walk around the block And I think maybe you'll change But just when it seems we've got it all worked out You start naming names I don't believe that I was the one to blame Verse Any maybe next time you'll cry When someone like me says good-bye You'll wake up when she's gone and wonder How you could let her go But look at me, I'm going under 'Cause, I can't hold on I can't hold on I can't hold on anymore, no more I can't hold on I can't hold on I can't hold on anymore Outro
