Hold on, Hold Out
Enduring Love: Holding on for Homecoming
Lyrics
Well, hold on, hold out
Encouragement to persevere, endure
Till I come home
Waiting for the speaker to return
Baby hold on, hold out
Reiteration of the need to hold on
Till I come home
Waiting for the speaker to come home
So many times
Anticipation of challenges
You're gonna be tempted to do me wrong
Expectation of potential betrayal
But baby hold on, hold out
Reaffirmation to hold on despite temptations
Till I come home
Reiteration of waiting for the return
Baby hold on, hold out
Stressing the importance of holding on
Till I come home
Continued emphasis on waiting
Baby hold on, hold out
Repeated encouragement to endure
Till I come home
Waiting for the speaker to come home
So many times you gonna do me wrong
Acknowledgment of potential wrongdoing
But baby hold out, hold on
Advising to hold on despite mistakes
Till I come home
Waiting for the speaker's return
I know while I'm gone
Acknowledgment of the difficulty of separation
It's gonna be hard on you
Acknowledgment of the challenges for both
But you must realize
Recognizing the mutual difficulty
It's gonna be hard on me too
Emphasizing shared hardship
Got a romance
Expressing a lasting romantic connection
That could never end
Belief in an enduring romance
Oh baby, never have to end
Stressing the perpetuity of love
Hold on, hold out
Reiteration of holding on
Till I come out
Waiting for the speaker to come out
Baby hold on, hold out
Repeated emphasis on holding on
Till I come home
Waiting for the return
So many times
Anticipation of challenges and difficulty
It's gonna be hard
Recognizing the toughness of the situation
For you to remain strong
Encouraging strength during hardships
Baby hold on, hold out
Reiteration of holding on despite difficulties
Till I come home
Waiting for the speaker to come home
Baby hold on, hold out
Continued emphasis on enduring
