[Verse 1]
I received your letter this morning
Had to write you back
I can read between the lines
Somethin' ain't going right, no
Just as soon as Uncle Sam get this life up out my hand
I'ma start runnin' to you, fast as I can
[Chorus]
So just hold it baby, don't let the devil get you
Hold it baby, don't want to see you with your
Hold it baby, don't let the devil get you
Hold it baby, look
[Verse 2]
Baby can't you plainly see
Oh, your love belong to me? (Uh huh)
I thought I left enough love with the baby
To last until 1973
So if you want my lovin' like you say you do
You won't be satisfied with a south, should too
[Chorus]
So just hold it baby, don't let the devil get you
Hold it baby, don't want to see you with your
Hold it baby, don't let the devil get you
Hold it baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
Huh, alright
[Bridge]
Uh! Yeah!
Somebody, mmm hmm
[Verse 3]
I know Jody been hangin' around
Trying to wear your resistor down
Don't listen to what he say (Uh huh)
He ain't into nothin' anyway
Now baby just to save your love
Just as long as you care
Hold on, hold on we got to win
[Chorus]
So hold it baby, don't let the devil get you
Hold it baby, don't want to see you with your
Hold it baby, don't let the devil get you
Hold it baby, uh huh
[Outro]
You got to hold it baby (Hold it), don't let the devil get you
Hold it (Hold it, you got to hold it)
Baby don't want to see you with your
Hold it (Hold it, you got to hold it)
Don't let the devil get you
