Lyrics


It's not in the way that you hold me

It's not in the way you say you care

It's not in the way you've been treating my friends

It's not in the way that you stayed till the end

It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do


Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh


It's not in the words that you told me, girl

It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh

It's not in the way that you came back to me

It's not in the way that your love set me free

It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do


Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh


It's not in the words that you told me

It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh

It's not in the way that you came back to me

It's not in the way that your love set me free

It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do


Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

Hold the line, love isn't always on time (Love isn't always on time)


Hold the line, love isn't always on time (love isn't always, love isn't always on time)

Hold the line, love isn't always on time

Love isn't always on time

Love isn't always on time

Love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
