All of these nights are long Hand on my heart you're strong Got a feeling that you'll survive These lost and these lonesome times
You can't please somebody Can't please somebody else Until you learn to look after yourself You can't be somebody Can't be somebody else You've learned your lesson, put in on the shelf
Hold on my heart Hold on my heart Find your stronger parts Hold on my heart
Thinking of him each day When he is miles away You know it wont serve you well It's better for time to tell
You can't please somebody Can't please somebody else Until you learn to look after yourself You can't be somebody Can't be somebody else You've learned your lesson, put in on the shelf
Hold on my heart Hold on my heart Find your stronger parts Hold on my heart
Though your growing up was hard Now you're not so easily crushed Still innocent and strange All your strength still remains
You can't please somebody Can't please somebody else Until you learn to look after yourself You can't be somebody Can't be somebody else You've learned your lesson, put in on the shelf
And hold on my heart Hold on my heart Find your stronger parts Hold on my heart
Hold on my heart Be the light in the dark Set yourself apart And (hold on my)... Hold on my heart
