James Newton Howard
Hold Her
[Intro]
You gotta hold her now
Never leave her
Never let her go

[Verse 1]
You think you lost her number
But you've only lost a little bit of time
She's waiting just to see you, boy
A continental girl so fine
Mirrors on the ceiling make
It hard for you to sleep at night
The opportunity is now
You know you got to do what's right

[Pre-Chorus]
So, you take yourself down to her
Before it gets too late
There's no need to telephone
'Cause this can hardly wait
The meaning of a moment has never been so strong
A girl like this, a night like this
It's right where you belong

[Chorus]
You gotta hold her now
Never leave her
Tell her how
You're gonna love her, squeeze her
Hold her now
Never leave her again
Never leave her again
Don't you go
[Verse 2]
She found you in a restaurant
When you were with another girl
(Remember? Remember? Remember? Remember? Remember? Remember?)
You tried to tell her how it was
Just to live in a harmless world
(Remember? Remember? Remember? Remember? Remember? Remember?)
Remember how she looked at you
Remember how she stole your eyes
And now you're all alone at night
Runnin' out of alibis

[Pre-Chorus]
So, you take yourself down to her
Before it gets too late
There's no need to telephone
'Cause this can hardly wait
The meaning of a moment has never been so strong
A girl like this, a night like this
It's right where you belong

[Chorus]
You gotta hold her now
Never leave her
Tell her how
You're gonna love her, squeeze her
Hold her now
Never leave her again
Never leave her again
Don't you go
[Bridge]
You've got to take your time
Take your time
Take your time whenever you see her
Save her every moment you can
With your every wonderful feeling
Make her know that you're really her man
Open arms are never too open
Lovin' hearts are never too free
Let the circle never be broken
Let it be what you want it to be

[Chorus]
You gotta hold her now
Never leave her
Tell her how
You're gonna love her, squeeze her
Hold her now
Never leave her again
Never again
Don't you go

[Outro]
Hold her now, hold her now, hold her now
Never never let her go
Hold her now, hold her now, hold her now
Never let her go
Hold her now, hold her now, hold her now
Never never let her go
Hold her now, hold her now, hold her now
Never let her go
Hold her now, hold her now, hold her now
