Lyrics to Hold On parody promo for GSN (Sung by Carnie Wilson)[]
Somedays my life, my job, my kids
Make me wanna cry!
Until then, baby
I'm just gonna have to have another piece of pie!
Don't you know?
Clothes are tight!
It's alright!
Will I get some tonight?
Can I hold on for one more day,
Things might go my way.
Will I get through this day?
Theme Song Lyrics (Sung by Rob Bonfiglio)[]
You gotta play,
If you wanna win!
You gotta seize the day,
You gotta let love in!
Nothing will hold you,
Nothing will hold you down!
Nothing will hold you down!
