All your friends are telling you
You should have a fancy car and diamond rings
But girl you know all good things come in time

Girl you know I'll do just about anything (anything)
To see a smile (to see a smile) upon your face (upon your face)
So don't let your friends go messing 
With your mind (oh no)

And girl you know 
There ain't nothing I won't do for you 
And baby don't
Don't ever doubt my love 'cause it's true

Baby hold on to me
See I'm a special kind
A man that is hard to find
Told you a thousand times
Baby hold on to me

Baby hold on to me
See I'm a special kind (hold me with all your tight)
A man that is hard to find
Told you a thousand times
Baby hold on to me (baby hold on)

Oh girl wasn't I there 
When he made you cry
And who was there to comfort you
When he said bye bye bye bye bye baby

Girl I give you my time 
Here is my money
All of my heart and 
You'll be so sorry baby
If we were to ever part, part
And girl you know
That I would never hurt you
Oh girl you know
That I would never desert you

Better hold on to me (hold on to me)
See I'm a special kind (I'm a special kind)
A man that is hard to find
Told you a thousand times (hard to find)
Baby hold on to me (baby baby)

Baby hold on to me (see I'm)
See I'm a special kind (you know I am)
A man that is hard to find
Told you a thousand times
Baby hold on to me

Oh baby baby see

Everything that you need
And I promise baby I promise baby
I'll be there for you

Baby hold on to me (hold on)
See I'm a special kind (hold on)
A man that is hard to find (oh baby baby baby?
Told you a thousand times 
Baby hold on to me

Hold on
See you laying at night
Will you need someone to hold you tight
You're gonna look for me
You're gonna look for me 
So you better, you better

Baby hold on to me
See I'm a special kind
I want it, I want it
A man that is hard to find (oh baby)
Told you a thousand times 
Baby hold on to me

You better
You better
Hold on
Hold on
Think about it before you let me walk out the door baby
How can you live without me baby
'Cause I can't see myself livin' without you baby 

Baby hold on to me (hold on, hold on)
See everything
See I'm a special kind (everything you ever needed)
A man that is hard to find
Told you a thousand times 
Baby hold on to me

So you better keep me around
You better keep me around (Hold on)
Baby baby baby baby baby
See I know I am a good man
And your friends keep telling
Your friends keep telling you no I'm not
But the don't know

Baby hold on to me (the good thing)
See I'm a special kind 
A man that is hard to find
Told you a thousand times (I'll never leave)  
Baby hold on to me (I'll never leave my baby)
Hold on
