When life gets tough
When this old road gets rough
What happens to me and you
What do we do -- we hang on.
When you confess
Your life is in a mess
And only you can muddle through
What do you do -- you hang on.
Love is blind, love is kind
What do you do when it leaves you behind
Like yesterday's papers -- like yesterday's news.
You don't want to be all by yourself
You don't want to be left on the shelf
When you're feeling small and tired of it all.
Those lonely days
Those sad and lonely days
Left sad and blue without a clue
What do you do -- you hang on.
Love is real -- love can heal
What do you do when the love that you feel
Turns out to be one dream that never came true.
You imagined it was so much more
Now you're stranded on another shore
And you don't expect to resurrect.
A love gone wrong
A love that was so strong
Left sad and blue without a clue
What do you do -- you hang on.
