I've been holdin' out

I've been hiding from the light

Sneakin' down the backstreets

Sneakin' down the backstreets

But no longer, can hide my eyes

From the city nights

And soon as love finds me I will go

No I won't, say no

As soon as love finds me (when it finds me)

I will go

Now I've had my share

of one night affairs

When I was a little younger

(just a little younger)

Well it wasn't love

But we really didn't care

It was close enough

And soon as love finds me I will go

No I won't, say no

As soon as love finds me (when it finds me)

I will go

All my life I pretended ya know

I'd go through the motions

It's never been love

It's always been wrong, it's gotta be

Right on the time this time

I need, deep devotion

It's gonna be real emotion

Or I refuse to go

I've be holdin' out

I've been hiding from the light

Sneakin' down the backstreets

Sneakin' down the backstreets

But no longer, can hide my eyes

From the city nights

As soon as love finds me I will go

No I won't, say no

As soon as love finds me (when it finds me)

I will go
