Lyrics:

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ha

Keep doing it

Ha

Yeah, yeah


When I was a little boy and growing up

I, I didn't know myself what's left and right

I'm all pent up

Said holding on

They said, keep, keep holding

Holding, holding on


My mama told me this

She said don't grow up too quickly

She said grow up boy, grow up boy

She said hold on, keep on

Holding on, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Mama told me

That's what she said

Keep holding babe

Holding, holding


Holding on

He stopped holding on

She said to me, she said to me

Keep holding on

I honey, I said I would keep holding

Oooh, oh, oh, ooh, oh

(Ad-libbed lyrics)

Yeah, yeah

Yeah

Ha

Holding

I said keep holding, holding


My big brother told me

He said, I don't need you as a brother, babe

I wanna, I wanna keep holding on

That's what he said

I just keep holding, holding

(Ad-libbed lyrics)

(Ad-libbed lyrics)

Ha

You do that


One more time

I keep holding on, yeah

I just keep holding, holding on

Holding on, key change


Yeah

Holding on, holding on

I just keep holding on, holding on

My mama told me that

I gotta keep holding on, yeah, yeah, ha, ha, ha, yeah

Wooh, oooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh

Ha, ha


Now it's your turn babe

Go, go
