lyrics

★ HOLDING OUT FOR LOVE ★

I'M HOLDING OUT FOR LOVE

YOU MADE ME LAUGH YOU MADE ME CRY
AS WE WERE TALKIN' TIME SEEMED TO FLY
LOST IN THE MOMENT CAUGHT IN THE DREAM
WE KISSED GOODBYE BUT IT AIN'T WHAT IT SEEMS

ONE KISS AIN'T NO ROMANCE YOU DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA
ONE KISS A MOMENT'S BLISS AIN'T NO LOVE AFFAIR

I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE I NEED A HEART THAT'S TRUE
NO I DON'T WANNA SING THE BLUES I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE
I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE THE JOY THAT LOVE CAN BRING
I'M WAITING FOR THE REAL THING I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE

YOU HELD ME CLOSE YOU HELD ME TIGHT
YEAH WE WERE DANCIN' 'TIL THE MORNING LIGHT
AS STARS WERE FADING m'mm YOU WALKED ME HOME
WE KISSED GOODNIGHT BUT I STILL SLEEP ALONE

ONE KISS AIN'T NO PROMISE THAT AIN'T WHAT IT MEANT
ONE KISS SOMETHIN' LIKE THIS AIN'T NO COMMITMENT

I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE I NEED A HEART THAT'S TRUE
NO I DON'T WANNA SING THE BLUES I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE
I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE THE JOY THAT LOVE CAN BRING
I'M WAITING FOR THE REAL THING I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE

I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE I NEED A HEART THAT'S TRUE
NO I DON'T WANNA SING THE BLUES I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE

YOU GAVE ME HOPE YOU GAVE ME FAITH
YOU KEEP ON CALLIN' DAY AFTER DAY
YOU SAY YOU'RE FALLIN' SO HARD FOR ME
WE KISSED I KNOW BUT IT'S JUST A FANTASY

ONE KISS DON'T MEAN PASSION IT'S NO MORE THAN FUN
ONE KISS WON'T GO AMISS AIN'T NOTHIN' WHEN IT'S DONE

'CAUSE I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE I NEED A HEART THAT'S TRUE
NO I DON'T WANNA SING THE BLUES I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE

I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE THE JOY THAT LOVE CAN BRING
I'M WAITING FOR THE REAL THING I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE
HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE
I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE
HOLDIN' OUT FOR LOVE
