Chaka Khan › Lyrics › Hold Her

You gotta hold her now
Never leave her, never let her go

You think you lost her number but you've only lost a little bit of time
She's waitin' just to see you boy, a continental girl so fine
Mirrors on the ceilin' make it hard for you to sleep at night
The opportunity is now, you know you got to do what's right

So, you take yourself down to her, before it gets too late
There's no need to telephone, 'cause this can hardly wait
The meaning of a moment, has never been so strong
A girl like this, a night like this, it's right where you belong

You gotta hold her now, never leave her
Tell her ho, you're gonna love her, squeeze her
Hold her now, never leave her, again
Never leave her again, don't you go

She found you in a restaurant when you were with another girl
You tried to tell her how it was just to live in a harmless world
Remember how she looked at you, remember how she stole your eyes
And now you're all alone at night runnin' out of alibis

So, you take yourself down to her before it gets too late
There's no need to telephone, 'cause this can hardly wait
The meaning of a moment has never been so strong
A girl like this, a night like this, it's right where you belong

You gotta hold her now, never leave her
Tell her how you're gonna love her, squeeze her
Hold her now, never leave her, again
Never leave her again, no, don't you go

You've got to take your time, take your time
Take your time whenever you see her, save her every moment you can
With your every wonderful feeling, let her know that you will be her man
Open arms are never too open, lovin' hearts are never too free
Let the circle never be broken, let it be what you want it to be
I can be her love

You gotta hold her now, never leave her
Tell her how you're gonna love her, squeeze her
Hold her now, never leave her, again
Never leave her again, don't you go

Hold her now, hold her now
Hold her now, never, never let her go
Hold her now, hold her now
Hold her now, never let her go
Hold her now, hold her now
Hold her now, never, never let her go
Hold her now, hold her now
Hold her now, never let her go
