"Whatever Makes Our Love Grow?"

Whatever makes our love grow?
Hold on
hold on
hold on
hold on.
Whatever makes our love grow?

The man you see before you ain't broken
Though the scars of my passion run deep.
They say love can move mountains

But I gave up counting those lonely nights
Without you
losing sleep.
Can't you see I fought so hard to get you

I sure ain't gonna let get away.
There's only one principle
love is invincible

Sometimes the pain is the price you must pay.

No matter what you do
hold on to whatever makes our love grow.
Whatever makes our love grow.
Hold on to
hold on to whatever makes our love grow.

So I stand before you not pleading

Everybody has a dream to keep.
You can spend your life searching

But you won't cure the hurting

There ain't such a thing as a better life without me.

Can't you see I've been
I've been here before you

I've been down this lonely road of shame.
Oh
I've spent my life learning
twisting and turning

And you can win if you play by the rules of the game.

No matter what you do
hold on to whatever makes our love grow. . ..

For goodness' sakes
don't make no big mistakes

Don't throw what we've got away.
You've been a lover
you've been a friend

You've been beside me through thick and thin
hold on!

Hold on
hold on!
Whatever makes our love grow
whatever makes our love grow

Whatever makes our love grow
whatever makes our love grow.
No matter what you do

hold on to whatever makes our love grow. . . .
No matter what you do

hold on to whatever makes our love grow. . . .
