Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Had my share of disco nights Did some talking, rainbow lights Easy smile shines like gold Burning hot and turning cold Live that kind of life before Lost the note to learn the score Something tells me that There must be something more [Chorus] This time I'm holdin' out for love Made up my mind I'm holdin' out for love Mister this time I'm holdin' on, holdin' back Holdin' out for love Had my fill of party scenes One night stands and neon dreams Good times friends and fancy clothes Flashing highs and crashing lows So if that's what's on your mind Well I'll just take a pass this time I believe I rather leave it all behind [Chorus] I need to find someone Who'll still be holding me When the dance is done [Chorus: x 3]
