[Verse 1] Just a small-town girl Livin’ in a lonely world She took the midnight train Goin’ anywhere You see it all around you Good love gone bad And usually, it's too late When you realize what you had [Pre-Chorus] Don't stop believin' Hold on to that feelin' Hold on loosely But don't let go If you cling too tightly You're gonna lose control [Verse 2] Just a city boy Born and raised in South Detroit He took the midnight train Goin’ anywhere Your baby needs someone to believe in And a whole lot of space to breathe in So don’t let her slip away Give her room to stay [Pre-Chorus] Don't stop believin' Hold on to that feelin' Hold on loosely But don't let go If you cling too tightly You're gonna lose control [Chorus] Ohh, you gotta hold on But don’t hold too tight Streetlights, people Keep that fire burnin’ bright Ohh, you gotta hold on But let love breathe Some will win, some will lose Just don’t ever leave [Bridge] Don’t let the music fade away Let it pull your heart, don’t be afraid If you hold on loosely You’ll make it through the night [Outro] Don't stop believin’ Hold on loosely Just a small-town girl Hold on, hold on!
