Bonoff, Karla - I Can't Hold On Lyrics






Oh baby, this time it's goodbye
And you can be sure that I won't cry
Our love is just a faded story
I'm walking down the road
And you just got to let me go

'Cause I can't hold on
I can't hold on
I can't hold on anymore

Well, what was that sweet lullaby
And were all those promises just lies
Well, I was just a fool to love you
I knew it all along
I can't look down, I know I'm falling

'Cause I can't hold on
I can't hold on
I can't hold on anymore

When you act the way that you do
I want to scream and shout
You keep on playing games
I walk around the block
And I think maybe you'll change
But just when it seems we've got it all worked out
You start naming names
I don't believe that I was the one to blame

Any maybe next time you'll cry
When someone like me says goodbye
You'll wake up when she's gone and wonder
How you could let her go
But look at me, I'm going under

'Cause I can't hold on
I can't hold on
I can't hold on anymore
No
I can't hold on
I can't hold on
I can't hold on anymore

  15. J.... W....

    When i was a little kid my parents would play music when i was going to bed because it helped me fall asleep. We had this album on tape and this was my favorite song to listen to before bed. Now that i am older i look back on this song and it is still one of my favorites.

  16. J.... M....

    This totally rocks. Who played bass? Leland Sclar played with all of those guys a bunch.

  26. h.... ....

    Timeless - too bad she didn't record more albums, 'cuz I would have bought everyone. If you ever have a chance to see her live, move heaven and earth to do it. It's a real artist at work.

  27. k.... ....

    I love the playi'n on this... brilliant while simple.. top notch

  28. c.... ....

    Andrew Gold is woefully underrated--well part of it is his fault with that "Thank You fro Being a Friend" fluff.

    But the guy played some great stuff on this album and a couple of Linda's. One of my favorites, too.

    c.... ....

    I agree, Andrew was a true "stud" when it came to making LP"s helping and writing, playing on everyone under the sun's records...

  29. M.... ....

    A real nirvana !!!! Great job one more time from Andrew ... He's THE guy !

  30. b.... ....

    Happy 56th Birthday to Karla, today 12-27-08 Sat. Thanks for your quality songwriting and wonderful voice!
