HOLD ON (to What You Got) — текст песни (Bruce Springsteen)

Verse 1:
I worked hard, baby, night and day
The things I had somebody took away
They took away everything I earned
But there`s one lesson that`a I have learned

Chorus:
You got to hold on, little girl, to what you`ve got (4X)

Verse 2:
I been pushed and I been knocked down
But I picked myself right back up off the ground
And baby there`s one thing that I have found
Fighting`s the only way`s to stand your ground

Chorus:
You got to hold on, little girl, to what you`ve got (4X)

Bridge:
I`ve been used, I`ve been abused
I`ve had, baby, my regrets
I`ve been lost, I paid the cost
But there`s one thing I ain`t gonna forget

Verse 3:
I`ve heard some hard lines, I`ve seen some cryin` times
Bad luck and trouble they been friends of mine
Got to stand straight and stare right at your face (fate?)
And play it hard before it`s too late

Chorus:
You got to hold on, little girl, to what you`ve got (8X)
