All your friends are telling you
You should have a fancy car and diamond rings
But girl you know all good things come in time

Girl you know I'll do just about anything (anything)
To see a smile (to see a smile) upon your face (upon your face)
So don't let your friends go messing
With your mind (oh no)

And girl you know
There ain't nothing I won't do for you
And baby don't
Don't ever doubt my love 'cause it's true

Baby hold on to me
See I'm a special kind
A man that is hard to find
Told you a thousand times
Baby hold on to me

Baby hold on to me
See I'm a special kind (hold me with all your tight)
A man that is hard to find
Told you a thousand times
Baby hold on to me (baby hold on)

Oh girl wasn't I there
When he made you cry
And who was there to comfort you
When he said bye bye bye bye bye baby

Girl I give you my time
Here is my money
All of my heart and
You'll be so sorry baby
If we were to ever part, part
And girl you know
That I would never hurt you
Oh girl you know
That I would never desert you

Better hold on to me (hold on to me)
See I'm a special kind (I'm a special kind)
A man that is hard to find
Told you a thousand times (hard to find)
Baby hold on to me (baby baby)

Baby you better
Baby hold on to me (see I'm)
See I'm a special kind (you know I am)
A man that is hard to find
Told you a thousand times
Baby hold on to me

Hold on
Oh baby baby see
I wanna be
Everything that you need
And I promise baby I promise baby
I'll be there for you

Baby hold on to me (hold on)
See I'm a special kind (hold on)
A man that is hard to find (oh baby baby baby?
Told you a thousand times
Baby hold on to me

Hold on
See you laying at night
Will you need someone to hold you tight
You're gonna look for me
You're gonna look for me
So you better, you better

Baby hold on to me
See I'm a special kind
I want it, I want it
A man that is hard to find (oh baby)
Told you a thousand times
Baby hold on to me

You better
You better
Hold on
Hold on
Think about it before you let me walk out the door baby
How can you live without me baby
'Cause I can't see myself livin' without you baby

Baby hold on to me (hold on, hold on)
See everything
See I'm a special kind (everything you ever needed)
A man that is hard to find
Told you a thousand times
Baby hold on to me

So you better keep me around
You better keep me around (Hold on)
Baby baby baby baby baby
See I know I am a good man
And your friends keep telling
Your friends keep telling you no I'm not
But the don't know

Baby hold on to me (the good thing)
See I'm a special kind
A man that is hard to find
Told you a thousand times (I'll never leave)
Baby hold on to me (I'll never leave my baby)
Hold on

I'm Listening To Eddie Lever And Gerald Levert In 2024

[kevinprater]

Who is still listening to this jam in 2023?

[charlie]

Still listening in 2025. Music like this, just don't get any

[wolverineballer]

Young folks, this is what used to come on TV back in the day. We were winning back then in music

[lovemybilly]

2025 and I'm still wishing me and my dad sung like this😂😂

[Toinemc]

Still listening in 2022.. Best father and son duet ever🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥

[maidman-hfby]

When both you and your daddy can steal the stage😢😢😢 i miss eddie

[daniellemoore]

SUPER CLASSIC. They can sing about rib tips and rice and I'll listen to it none stop. RIP Gerald and Shawn.

[writerzblock]

When you hit the like button before watching the video because you know the performance was epic

[rawuncutmack]

I'm a grown arsed man. And I just broke down crying like a little kid at the 4:00 mark. And I never cry over ANYTHING. Sittin' here with my eyes swollen...smh. Between seeing this Father/Son exchange (never met mine...lol), Gerald's death and remembering my relationship heartbreaks over the years. It's potent and powerful! Strangely, this song soothes instead of depressing my soul! Much respect to these two legends. R.I.H. to both Levert sons. And thank you Eddie.

[AprilLashon]

No additives, pure singing…I miss it!

[Pimp]

This is why I feel it's important for boys to have their fathers in their lives. I know as a father it hurts to lose your child. RIP

[Lakiesha]

Like Father Like Son
R.I.P Gerald LeVert

[solara]

😢If this song, and this passionate performance doesn’t “move”you….nothing will! Eddie and Gerald are definitely two of the best. Like Father, Like Son! 💜💚💙

[FamTime]

This song will bring tears to your eyes. Real classic!! R.I.P Gerald. I'm still listening to your music in 2022.

[Papi.Pharaoh]

Undeniably one of the greatest duets to ever exist, and it came from a father and son who could honestly put a lot of these artists today to shame. No lip syncing just real authentic voices. If this song and performance doesn’t move you, then nothing will.

[malachijustice]

Truly, one of the best performances Apollo has ever shown father and son

[rodneywilson]

THEE VOICES Eddie & Gerald....
A masterpiece that’ll last forever!! The live performances of this song from them were all classic & priceless!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
RIP GERALD🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 & SHAWN🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[kennykinard]

It was truly a blessing from our heavenly father to Mr. EDDIE LEVERT to have his sons perform with him on stage. Just look at their actions while they give the people what they want. "LEVERT FOREVER"
