Hold The Line Lyrics (Toto) 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 Chorus: 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 Chorus: Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh (Instrumental break) 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 Chorus - 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
