If you think it's hard in this day and time,
To hold your man like I been holding mine.
There's no secret, just some little things to do;
It worked for me and it's bound to work for you.

A loving smile will start his day out right.
A goodbye kiss will bring him home at night.
Reach out to him when he needs a helping hand.
Touch him gently so he knows you understand.

Be proud of him when you know he's done his best.
Let him know you think he's better than the rest.

If you want to hold your man, this is the way.
Love him more today, than you did yesterday.
Love's the answer.
Love's the answer.

Be proud of him when you know he's done his best.
Let him know you think he's better than the rest.
If you want to hold your man, this is the way.
Love him more today, than you did yesterday.
Love's the answer.
Love's the answer.
