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
