Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Thinking ahead of time
Why don’t you spend the night?
I know you love me
Pick up and roll the dice
Reading between the lines
I know you love me
We can book a flight
Wake up in paradise
Sun up above us
Tell me you down to ride
And you can bet your life
No one above you

[Chorus 1]
Said hold on, can’t stop love
Said hold on, can’t stop la (can’t stop, yeah, yeah)
Said hold on, can’t stop la (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Said hold on, can’t stop la

[Verse 2]
And as long as you’re with me
I’m definitely
Yours for the takin’
Don’t be mistakin’
And as long as you’re wit’ it
I’ll be committed to you
[Bridge 1]
(Ay, aw, yeah) I’ll show you what I know
You’ll give me what I need
Not saying I’m a pro
But you could learn from me
We go another round
Before we fall asleep
You got me on a cloud nine, baby
Feels almost like a dream
Something ‘bout your body (yeah, yeah)

[Chorus 1]
(Yeah, yeah) Said hold on, can’t stop la (yeah)
I think you better hold on, can’t stop la (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Said hold on, can’t stop la (yeah, yeah)
I think you better hold on, can’t stop la (yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus 2]
I think you better hold on
I’m not ready to go
I hear you sayin’ don’t stop
I’d rather take it slow
I see you tryna hold on
But we aren't lettin’ go
You let me take control now
You’re ready to explode
(Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)

[Chorus 1]
Said hold on, can’t stop la (holding on, holding on)
Said hold on, can’t stop la (holding on, holding on)
Said hold on, can’t stop la (holding on, holding on)
Said hold on, can’t stop la (holding on, holding on)

[Horn Interlude]

[Bridge 2]
(Oh, oh, yeah)
(Oh-oh-oh, yeah)
And when you’re done just say enough (enough)
When your breath just can’t keep up (keep up)
‘Cause it’s bedtime baby (yeah, yay)

[Chorus 1]
Said hold on, can’t stop la (holding on, holding on)
Said hold on, can’t stop la (holding on, holding on)
Said hold on, can’t stop la (holding on, holding on)
Said hold on, can’t stop la (holding on, holding on)

[kwakhodesile]

This song really hits hard at midnight, driving around just love it🙌❤

[bja]

Funny, I feel this energy and connection with the characters in the movie and with the song. Its like I’m there with them

[zyndoxai]

heard this song when i was alone in brooklyn and went to a ice cream shop to clear my mind because i was having a rough afternoon. they played it as i was sitting by myself there in a booth and it was the most euphoric feeling i’ve ever felt

[mosesskyler]

I pray for love like this one day. Hard to not feel worthy for such love sometimes in this dark world.

[ninabracks]

I wish the internet would have stayed together. Maybe a little ahead or behind their time 🤷🏽‍♀️. New age neo-soul ❤

[cdsouthsidec]

The scenes from this 1982 movie go together so well with the song.

[dirgewordsmithe]

This audio visual perfection right here! You chose the perfect footage for every single beat and tone! This was magnificent!!!

[nxqefgh]

Wow. The scenes from this movie and the music are so perfect together. One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever watched

[danielallyway]

Perfect song for my wife and I of 15 years.

[hwknswltr]

This is one of the most entrancing things ive seen and heard... beautiful

[QueenAthena]

When that beat drops….oh my goddd! Such a beautiful songggg

[jerrym]

Listening to this song makes me wish that there can be peace between every single one of us in the world, just put aside our differences, anger, and hate to just sit down and talk about the good things in life and why it’s all worth living for, and why it’s important to always be humble to everyone around you.

We may look different to each other, but we would become surprised to know that we all have so much in common with each other than we think.

[automaticlightobject]

this video made me believe in love again 😭

[colinlarson]

Whoever made this video truly caught lightening in a bottle. I don't no why but it just goes with it.

[irfhzandi]

I have this on repeat and can't help but get heavy 90's Aaliyah vibes!! Am I the only 1?

[lebogangmatholwane]

These visuals give this sound a DIFFERENT VIBRATION.

Goosebumps 🫢🥺💘

[starfalco]

Losing Ground is a wonderful film, so happy to see it combined with The Internet

[melgonz]

Her voice is captivating.. smooth I can't stop listening to this song..definitely on repeat 😍

[JayDotCo]

For anyone curious, a lot of these scenes were filmed at the City College of New York in West Harlem. The campus still has the same buildings! I'm curious to know where the scenes were the other scenes were shot too.
