Holdin’ Out For You

Verse 1 
Holdin’ out for you, is what I know that I must do 

Ever since your eyes caught mine, no one else would do. 
People everywhere, are tellin’ me that I’m a fool, 
But darlin’ I don’t care, you see I’m holdin’ out for you. 
Verse 2 
When, as if by chance, our eyes met with fateful glance 
Across a crowded room, I knew that I was doomed. 
If it means that I must spend my life in solitude, 
That’s what I will do, you see I’m holdin out for you. 

Chorus: 
If life was such that I could choose 
Between a long life without you 
Or a day in your embrace 
The last is what I’d choose. 
If I were God or Superman 
And I could make you understand, 
Maybe then you’d take my hand, ‘till then I’m 
Holdin’ out for you 
Verse 3 
(Instrumental interlude on 1/2 the verse) 

If it means that I must spend my life in solitude, 
That’s what I will do, you see I’m holdin out for you 

Chorus: 
If life was such that I could choose 
Between a long life without you 
Or a day in your embrace 
The last is what I’d choose. 
If I were God or Superman 
And I could make you understand, 
Maybe then you’d take my hand, ‘till then I’m 
Holdin’ out for you 

People everywhere, are tellin’ me that I’m a fool, 
But darlin’ I don’t care, you see I’m holdin’ out for you. 
Honey I don’t care, you see I’m holdin’ out for you.
