Hang On to Your Love Lyrics by Sade

The Ultimate Collection

1984

[Chorus]
In Heaven's name, why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love
In Heaven's name, why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love
[Verse 1]
Take time if you're down on luck
It's so easy to walk out on love
Take your time if the going gets tough
It's so precious
[Pre-Chorus]
So if you want it to get stronger
You'd better not let go
You gotta hold on longer
If you want your love to grow
Gotta stick together
Hand in glove
Hold tight, don't fight
Hang on to your love
[Chorus]
In Heaven's name, why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love
In Heaven's name, why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love
[Verse 2]
Be brave (Be brave) when the journey is rough
It's not easy when you're in love
Don't be ashamed (Afraid) when the going gets tough
It's not easy don't give up
[Pre-Chorus]
If you want it to get stronger
You'd better not let go
You gotta hold on longer
If you want your love to grow
Gotta stick together
Hand in glove
Hold tight, don't fight
Hang on to your love
[Chorus]
In Heaven's name, why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love
In Heaven's name, why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love
[Bridge]
Da da da dee dee da
Da da da dee dee da
Da (Dee dee da)
Da da da dee dee da
Da da da dee dee da
Da (Dee dee da)
Da da da dee dee da
Da da da dee dee da
Da (Dee dee da)
Da da da dee dee da
Da da da dee dee da
Da (Dee dee da)
[Pre-Chorus]
So if you want it to get stronger
You'd better not let go
You gotta hold on longer
If you want your love to grow
Gotta stick together
Hand in glove
Hold tight, don't fight
Hang on to your love
[Chorus]
In Heaven's name, why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love
In Heaven's name, why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love
[Verse 3]
When you find a love (To your love)
Don't let it walk away
When you find your love (Hang on to your love)
You've got to make it stay (Hang on)
Hang on to your love
Don't let it walk away (Hang on)
When you find your love (Hang on to your love)
Got to make him stay (Hang on)
[Bridge]
You've got to hang on to your love (To your love)
You've got to hang on to your love (To your love)
Why are you walking away? (Why are you walking away?)
Why do you play these games? (Hang on, why do you play these games?)
[Outro]
Da da da dee dee da (Hang on to your love)
Da da da dee dee da
Da da da dee dee da (Hang on to your love)
Da da da dee dee da
Da da da dee dee da (Hang on to your love)
