| Hello, hello, hello | |
| Hooray, hooray, hooray | |
| I am here to interrupt your regular program | |
| So hey man now don't you touch that dial | |
| Unless we step in single file | |
| Keep it pretty slowly | |
| Cause you know i like to focus on the ease | |
| And you can call me skee if you please | |
| So come on in, come on in | |
| Come in and give a pound mix and mingle with your friends | |
| Or just have a drink or just sit down | |
| Get up stand up come on throw your hands up | |
| If ya girl is throwin fronts then your brothers keep your chin up | |
| Be cool with the flexin she's in the mood for sexin | |
| You could pop the question but that's just my suggestion | |
| And when the mood is right we can switch it off to candle light | |
| But hold on to your girls cause if you don't well then i might | |
| I know that you just might be in the mood-a | |
| To want to shoot a spark into the dark | |
| But this is just a start | |
| (chorus) | |
| I'll keep holdin' on | |
| I'll keep holdin' on | |
| (skee-lo) | |
| Thinkin back black yo i could remember that high school flame | |
| Now was it nikki or lorraine yo what was her name | |
| Anyway she was so cute that back at school i tried to rock it | |
| But she often put her purse to any brothers tryin to knock it | |
| So stop it to get with i got with | |
| But what's this was honey just fakin it that kept me from my ducats | |
| Now the rain has gone i can clearly see | |
| What was we enemies? | |
| Not for long alone is what she wants to be | |
| But what am i to do, what am i do to? | |
| What would you do if you were in the same shoes? | |
| With a bunch of bad news from my hoodrat | |
| Sorry but i gotta scatter i'm movin from the east to the west | |
| So please say god bless and oh yes see i miss her very much | |
| I wish that i could give her my number so that she could stay in touch | |
| I wonder if she remembers me and what went on | |
| And if she does not understand word is born i'ma keep holdin on | |
| (chorus) | |
| I'll keep holdin' on | |
| (i'ma keep holdin' on) | |
| I'll keep holdin' on | |
| (skee-lo) | |
| Well hello my honey ?dips? | |
| See i'm back from my trip | |
| All the letters you wrote i kept | |
| Do you remember when i left? | |
| I said, "i'm leavin on the next plane | |
| Don't know when i'll be back again" | |
| Kiss me, smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me | |
| Hold me like you'll never let me go my little trick-a-dee | |
| Cause life is what you make as we take it as reality | |
| Now we're reunited and it feels so good | |
| You know were reunited and it feels so good | |
| Through the centuries of time heal the rhymes and unwind | |
| Melodies flowin swift with the jazz fill | |
| Kill the lights move in closer to your loved ones | |
| Baby hold em tight like tomorrow never comes | |
| Gaze into the eyes sympathise not the sympathy | |
| Me and mrs jones got a marriage going on understand me | |
| Everything is dandy so what can be wrong | |
| And if you now know the song then sing along | |
| (chorus) | |
| I'll keep holdin' on | |
| I'll keep holdin' on | |
| (my word is true) | |
| I'll keep holdin' on | |
| I'll keep holdin' on | |
| (i'ma keep holdin' on) | |
| I'll keep holdin' on | |
| I'll keep holdin' on |
