Hello Western Union
Won´t you listen to me ma´am?
I had no time to say good-bye
So take this telegram
While I´m gone
She´s gotta hold on to my love
While I´m gone
She´s gotta hold on to my love
It breaks my heart to leave her
But I´m working with this band
I´ve got one chance to make it now
Please make her understand
That while I´m gone
She´s gotta hold on to my love
While I´m gone
She´s gotta hold on to my love
Don´t give it away

[Solo]

So come on operator
And get my message through
She don´t need to write me every day
All she´s gotta do is
Hold on
Hold on to my love
While I´m gone
She´s gotta hold on to my love
Don´t let it slip away
Hold on
Hold on to my love
Hold on
Hold on to my love
