Lyrics:

Its not in the way that you hold me, its not in the way you say you care
Its not in the way youve been treating my friends
Its not in the way that you stayed till the end
Its not in the way you look or the things that you say that youll do

Chorus:
Hold the line, love isnt always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isnt always on time, oh oh oh

Its not in the words that you told me, girl
Its not in the way you say youre mine, ooh
Its not in the way that you came back to me
Its not in the way that your love set me free
Its not in the way you look or the things that you say that youll do

Chorus

(instrumental break)

Its not in the words that you told me
Its not in the way you say youre mine, ooh
Its not in the way that you came back to me
Its not in the way that your love set me free
Its not in the way you look or the things that you say that youll do

Chorus - love isnt always on time

Hold the line, love isnt always on time -
Love isnt always, love isnt always on time
Hold the line, love isnt always on time, love isnt always on time
Love isnt always on time, love isnt always on time, oh oh oh
