Story Behind The Song
During a rough time in a very long term relationship, the advice I would get from men was so different from the advice I would get from women. The men's view (verse 1) told me just to answer the door wearing something sexy, that's all that was needed to fix things up. The women (verse 2) focused more on why things went wrong and how to get past all those long lonely nights spent thinking about the relationship, trying to find a way to forgive.
Song Description
When relationships are in trouble, you go through stages. Some are "quick fixes" (like wearing something sexy), some are the gut wrenching long lonely laying awake all night trying to figure everything out times. But the bottom line is that the love really is there, it just needs to get fired back up somehow. It's expressing your deep commitment to finding it once again. Promising to "Hold On To You" just like when the love was brand new.

Lyrics
A tight red dress cut way low in the back
The right finesse
Will get your train runnin? down my track
I?m gonna get ya back to lovin?
Get ya back to me
Get you back so my love can set you free
Then I?m gonna hold on to you
Hold on just like our love was new
Hold on to you
And pray, baby, you?re gonna hold on too
The long black night spent tryin? to forgive
This lonely life just ain?t no way to live
I?m gonna get ya back to lovin?
Get ya back to me
Get you back so my love can set you free
Then I?m gonna hold on to you
Hold on just like our love was new
Hold on to you
And pray, baby, you?re gonna hold on too
Hold on
Ooh?hold on
I?m gonna get ya back
I?m gonna get ya back
Get you back
Hold on to you
Hold on just like our love was new
Hold on to you
And pray, baby
I?m gonna hold on to you
Hold on just like our love was new
Hold on to you
And pray, baby
