Hold On
Wilson Phillips · Greatest Hits
Verse 1
I know this pain (I know this pain, I know this pain (echo))
Why do lock yourself up in these chains? (these chains, these chains (echo))
No one can change your life except for you
Don't ever let anyone step all over you
Just open your heart and your mind, mmm
Is it really fair to feel this way inside?
Chorus
Ooh some day somebody's gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don't you know?
Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day
Things'll go your way
Hold on for one more day (one more day)
Verse 2
You could sustain (you could sustain , you could sustain (echo))
Mmm or are you comfortable with the pain?
You've got no one to blame for your unhappiness (no baby)
You got yourself into your own mess (ooooooo)
Lettin' your worries pass you by (lettin' your worries pass you by)
Baby don't you think it's worth your time
To change your mind?
Chorus
Noo noo, some day somebody's gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don't you know?
Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day
Things'll go your way (oh things'll go your way)
Hold on for one more day
Breakdown
I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day
And you break free from the chains
Yeah I know that there is pain
But you hold for one more day
And you break free right from the chains
Chorus (acapella)
Some day somebody's gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye (and say goodbye)
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don't you know?
Don't you know (no) things can change (no)
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day, yeah

Mmm... Can you hold on baby
Won't you tell me now
Hold on for one more day
Cause it's gonna go away
Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day yeah

Make up your mind
Hold on Hold on

Hold On - Wilson Phillips
Released on the band's 1990 greatest hits compilation, "Hold On" serves as a poignant reflection on the fragility of relationships, a theme central to Wilson Phillips' early career. The track features the group's signature harmonies, blending soft rock with pop sensibilities that defined their breakthrough era in the early 1990s. While often associated with their debut album, the song's enduring appeal lies in its emotional resonance and the seamless integration of the trio's vocal talents. It stands as a testament to their ability to craft melodies that address universal feelings of uncertainty and longing, solidifying their place in the landscape of 90s alternative pop.
