Hold my hand
Oh my yeah
Oh my yeah
Sean Paul
Zaho
Oh my yeah
Yo yo yo
Alright then
So let me tell you this
Girl, you know I care
So if you ever seem to lose your way, don’t have no fear
Hold my hand
I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl
’Cause this love that we share
I will stay on the right track, don’t have no fear
Hold my hand
I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl
’Cause I care
The time I have will seem too short
I’ve lost too many feathers among the vultures
How many times has life courted me
And how many times has it played tricks on me
I’ve cried out your name, my love
I’ve only heard my echo in return
Your absence makes me deaf
When your voice is missing, you comfort me when you sing
Oh sing again
Girl, you know I care
So if you ever seem to lose your way, don’t have no fear
Hold my hand
I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl
’Cause this love that we share
I will stay on the right track, don’t have no fear
Hold my hand
I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl
’Cause I care
All my love, all my heart
Well, this is what you’re getting girl, from the start
On the run, on the job
I’ve never let a beat fall apart
Love is sweet but love is hard
Sometimes you gotta work on it round the clock
Never let it flop, never let it stop
Give thanks for what we got
Let me tell you this
Girl, you know I care
So if you ever seem to lose your way, don’t have no fear
Hold my hand
I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl
’Cause this love that we share
I will stay on the right track, don’t have no fear
Hold my hand
I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl
’Cause I care
You hit the target, and I know what comes next
No way to escape, it’s not just a fleeting flame
I’m so afraid of the void, I want to rush but I hesitate
And my heart beats faster and faster
Oh, I wish I could tell you
That being away from you is too hard, little by little I’m fading
Come wrap your wings around me
To take me, take me far from everything
Girl, you know I care
So if you ever seem to lose your way, don’t have no fear
Hold my hand
I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl
’Cause this love that we share
I will stay on the right track, don’t have no fear
Hold my hand
I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl
’Cause I care
The love we seek, let’s take it to the peak
’Cause you know my words aren’t cheap, girl
So the vibe is always sweet, every day we meet
When I’m done, baby girl, I want to keep you forever
Can’t get enough, I want a whole lot, girl
And the mountain we climb, it doesn’t matter how steep, girl
So why can’t you see it, girl
You know my love runs deep, girl
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh oh whoa oh
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh oh whoa oh
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh oh whoa oh
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh oh whoa oh
