He left me round tore up
Back in Detroit City
Singin' them low-down, Motown
Motor City blues
He blew my mind in Tulsa
Blew me off in Georgia
Left me in a storm
In Santa Cruz
When it comes to love
You just can't give up
You just hold on, hold out
And do what you gotta do
When it comes to love
You just can't give up
You just hold on, hold out
And do what you gotta do
Do what you gotta do
I've done some time in Memphis
On my knees and helpless
Drownin' a beatin' and broken heart
In the delta blues
He my love in Austin
Turned his back in Boston
Left me in the rain
In Baton Rouge
When it comes to love
You just can't give up
You just hold on, hold out
And do what you gotta do
When it comes to love
You just can't give up
You just hold on, hold out
And do what you gotta do
Do what you got to do
What you got to do, yeah
When it comes to love
You just can't give up
You just hold on, hold out
And do what you gotta do
When it comes to love
You just can't give up
You just hold on, hold out
And do what you gotta do
Do what you got to do
What you gotta do
What you gotta do, oh, yeah
Hold on, hold on, hold on
