Written by babyface (1997)
Performed by boyz ii men
I know you've been goin' through some things
The pain you hold inside is written on your face
I know you're 'bout tired of the rain
Well baby so am I but I know things can change
Well you can die, you can sigh, you can cry
'til you're midnight blue
But that's not you, no no
'cause I know you're stronger
It's apparent to me
So to you
If you just hold on
I swear that everything will be okay
I know that you're nervous
Baby give it some time
Things will go your way
If you just hold on
I swear that everything will be okay
I know that you're nervous
Baby give it some time
Things will go your way
I know it's been heavy on your mind
Baby give him up he's not worth your time
Where is it that says you need a guy
Well you don't need his love to justify your life
So he can go, let him go, make him go
You should want him to
So can you
I now that you're stronger
It's getting clearer to me
So to you
Hook
So don't let your defenses down
I know somehow you'll work things out
Don't make your heart on no one else
You should just believe in yourself, yourself
