Hold On Lyrics

My favorite En Vogue song. The woman lost her man because she was too clingy and he didn't feel like he had enough space:

"my first mistake was I wanted too much time I had to have him morning, noon, and night"

She regrets losing him:

"If I would of known then The things that I know now I might not have lost the time I complain about"

She recognizes that if she didn't completely revolve her life around him but instead challenged him, she would have made their love interesting and kept him:

"The art of playing games now Is not the hearts you break It's bound to good love you make When it's heart's on fire Give him love everyday Remember he needs space Be patient and he'll give his heart to you"

I think she sees that there is a fine balance in a relationship, and she feels that she has something to teach other women so they don't do the same.

I wish I could find a woman who had good introspection and common sense like this!
