I Can't Hold On

Now I'm talking to you, baby

Listen to what I have to say

I have a lot to tell you

Before I go away

I did what I could

To do what I could

Now I'm leaving, baby

Stop your pleading 'cause I can't hold on

No, I can't hold on

There ain't nothing gonna stop me

'Cause I'm leaving you today

You had your chance to love me

But you threw it all away

I did what I could

To do what I could

Now I'm leaving, baby

Stop your pleading 'cause I can't hold on

No, I can't hold on

I tried my best to love you

I tried to make you mine all mine

But I can't hold on

No, I can't hold on, no

Ain't nothing gonna stop me

'Cause I'm leaving you today

You had your chance to love me

But you threw it all away

I did what I could

To do what I could

Now I'm leaving, baby

Stop your pleading 'cause I can't hold on

No, I can't hold on

Oh, sugar pie

Oh, Lord

Oh, baby, I can't

Oh, I can't hold on
