hallo western union
won´t you listen to me man?
had no time to say "good bye"
so take th is telegram
while i´m gone
she got to hold on to my love
while i´m gone
she got to hold on to my love

breaks my heart to leave her
but i´m working with this band
i´ve got one chance to make it now
please make her understand
that while i´m gone
she got to hold on to my love
while i´m gone
she got to hold on to my love
don´t give it away

oh yeah, uh huh
so come on operator
and get my message through
she don´t need to write me ev´ry day
all she´s gotta do is hold on
hold on to my love
while i´m gone
she got to hold on to my love
don´t let it slip away

hold on
hold on to my love
hold on
hold on to my love
