Every body's got problems, everybody gets low
Everybody's got trouble, leastwise, everybody I know
But at times like these when I'm on my knees
And everything goes wrong
I turn to my baby, and things won't stay wrong for long
When your heart is down and your brain's in a muddle
You can't beat a little kiss and a cuddle
Everything's gonna be alright
I'll be hangin' on to my baby tonight
Hangin' on, tonight
We come into this world, the very first thing we learn
Is everybody needs someone, somewhere to turn
So come on do what I do, if only because
A little bit of loving makes everything
A little bit better than it was
When your heart is down and your brain's in a muddle
You can't beat a little kiss and a cuddle
Everything's gonna be alright
I'll be hangin' on to my baby tonight
Hangin' on, tonight
I don't have much money, and I don't really care
No one needs no money, when you've got some love to spare
Well there ain't no bank in this whole wide world
Gonna stop this spending spree
When I'm holding onto my baby, and she's holding onto me
When your heart is down and your brain's in a muddle
You can't beat a little kiss and a cuddle
Everything's gonna be alright
I'll be hangin' on to my baby tonight
Hangin' on, tonight
