Tommy James And The Shondells Album

You can't laugh. You can't cry.
You're actin' kinda funny and you don't know why.
'Cause your heart keeps beatin' like a big, bass drum.
And the beat's gettin' stronger, and it's so much fun.
And you keep on singin', but the words are wrong.
And you can't stop laughin', baby, what's goin' on?

Chorus
It's only love tryin' to get through.
It's only love tryin' to get through.
It's only love tryin' to get through.

You can't run. You can't hide.
No matter what you do, you're on a ten-cent ride.
Goin' up, down, baby, and it's so much fun.
And your heart keeps beatin' like a big, bass drum.
And the beat's gettin' stronger, and it just won't quit.
Better hold on, baby, 'cause you know that it's
repeat chorus

repeat chorus until fade out

Hold on a little bit longer,
Hold on a little bit longer,
Hold on a little bit longer 'cause I'm comin' home to you.

I've been gone such a long, long time.
Girl, I hope and pray that-a you're still mine.
'Cause I know it's not easy being true
When you've got no one to give your lovin' to.
So, baby, just
[Hold on] hold on a little bit longer,
[Hold on] hold on a little bit longer,
[Hold on] hold on a little bit longer, 'cause I'm comin' home to you.

I know guys give you the eye.
There were many-a time you could've told me goodbye.
But I know you never cheated, no-oh, you never lied
And there were nights you stayed home and cried.
So, baby, just
[Hold on] hold on a little bit longer,
[Hold on] hold on a little bit longer,
[Hold on] hold on a little bit longer, 'cause I'm comin' home to you.

When I come home, I'm gonna love you every night and day.
When we're alone, I'll make it seem like I've never been away.
You just gotta
[Hold on] hold on a little bit longer,
[Hold on] hold on a little bit longer,
[Hold on] hold on just a little bit longer, 'cause I'm comin' home to you.

Hold on just a little bit longer,
[Hold on] hold on a little bit longer,
[Hold on] hold on just a little bit longer,
[Hold on] hold on a little bit longer,
[Hold on] hold on just a little bit longer,
[Hold on] hold on a little bit longer.

[No lyrics]

Her house has a doorman, mine has just a door.
Her house has rich carpeting, mine, a splintered floor.
Chandeliers hang from her ceiling, plaster falls from mine.
Her daddy's a bank president, mine's on the welfare line.

Chorus
Juanita, nothin's gonna stop our love.
Juanita, nothin's gonna stop our love.

We'll build a mansion so high on the hill.
We'll make it, baby, you know that we will.
repeat Chorus

She's used to great big diamonds, so I take her to a baseball game.
She's used to furs, so we go feed the squirrels on Lover's Lane.
She's used to big, long automobiles, so we ride on the bus.
There ain't too much of what I've got, but it's enough for us.
repeat Chorus and fade
