You're sweeter than the morning

When the sun is shining down on me

There is nothing you can say

That could make me go away you see

But you keep saying to me baby



Hold on--I feel I'm getting ready

Hold on--I feel I'm rockin' steady

Hold on--I'm gonna make it with you woman

Hold on--You got to gimme some love, gimme some love



I held back before

But your love took me easily

You got the power

I knew was gonna creep up on me

The more I give

Your love keeps comin' on strong

Although it's mine now

I know it won't be for long

There's something in the saying

That a woman needs a little more time

I'm getting tired of waiting for you

Giving me some kind of sign



Hold on--I've got to love you when I want to

Hold on--You've got to love me when I want you to

Hold on--I ain't gonna let you leave me baby

Hold on--No never no more



I know the game you're playing

And I guess you think I'm easily led

You think the words you're saying

Are really going through my head

I'm gonna take you home

And give you all I can

I'll prove to you, baby

That really I'm a man



Hold on--I know I'm feeling ready

Hold on--I know I'm rockin' steady

Hold on--Guess I've made it with you woman

Hold on--I've got you giving me love



Something that you give me

Keeps me hangin' on

No use me stayin'

There's nothing to be done

I'm gonna take you home

And give you all I can

I'll prove to you woman

That really I'm a man



Hold on--I only want to take you higher

Hold on--You are the root of my desire

Hold on--C'mon baby light my fire

Hold on
