Little darling belle with such a fragile shell In the powerful way that love seems to make her all regret it now And if she'd only say what's wrong- she can't go on You've got to be strong now And if I come and hold you now You'll be safe and sound Little lonely face that no one ever sees You see the thing she believes is life is bittersweet if she'd Open up to me, and it's the only thing she dreams, You gotta believe You've got to be strong now And if I come and hold you now You've got to be strong now If I hold you now If I hold you now If I hold you now Ooh god if I could change a thing tonight we won't Be lonely, ooh god if I could change a thing, Why does it have to be this way? You've got to be strong now And if I come and hold you now You've got to be strong now If I hold you now If I hold you now
