Had my share of neon nights
Tinsel talk and rainbow lights
Easy smiles that shine like gold
Burnin´ hot and turnin´ cold
Lived that kind of life before

Lost enough to learn the score
Something tells me that there must be something more
This time I´m holding out for love
Made up my mind I´m holding out for love
Mister, this time I´m holding off, holding back
Holding out for love
Had my fill of party scenes
One night stands and two bit dreams
Good-time friends and fancy clothes,
Flashing highs and crashing lows
So if that´s what´s on your mind
I´ll just take a pass this time
I believe I´d rather leave it all behind
This time I´m holding out for love
Made up my mind I´m holding out for love
Mister, this time I´m holding off, holding back
Holding out for love

I need to find someone
Who´ll still be holdin me
When the dancin´s done
This time I´m holding out for love
Made up my mind I´m holding out for love
Mister, this time I´m holding off, holding back
