Just wanna hold you
The way I always did when you were young
And I need to warn you
Not all the things I said will turn out wrong
The things that you don't know
Heartaches, business, backstabs, bills to pay
I wish that I told you before
You're Strong enough to make it
You're old enough to go
My heart about to break in
I know you'll make it on your own
What about the hard times
And the little things they never say
Can I be your lifeline
Baby you call me anyday
And I know, I know
I just can't rule your life
Save it for the hard times
You're out on your own now
The way you always wanted since that day
You walk in my shoes now
Remember what your old man used to say
You ain't getting younger
Setbacks, pensions, mortgage, bills to pay
Whether you want it or not
You're Strong enough to make it
You're old enough to go
My heart about to break
I know you'll make it on your own
What about the hard times
And the little things they never say
You used up all your lifelines
You call me anyway
And I know, I know
I just can't make it right
Save it for the hard times
What about the hard times
And the little things they never say
Can I be your lifeline
Baby you call me anyday
Now what about the hard times
And the little things they never say
You used up all your lifelines
You call me anyway
Cause you're strong enough to make it
And you're old enough to go
And nothing's gonna break you
I know You'll make it on your own
Cause you're strong enough to make it
And you're old enough to go
And nothing's gonna break you
I know You'll make it on your own
And I know, I know
I just can't make it right
Save it for the hard times
