Hold The Line, LOVE Isn't Always On Time (1978)


Hi everybody! I heard this CLASSIC song on the radio yesterday while out running errands. I actually stopped to write down the title so I wouldn't forget lol ;) I wanted to share with you today! ENJOY!!! :D

I was asked to explain this song's lyrics, so I looked it up and found the following on Yahoo answers:

Nitegirl76 asked: What is the meaning to the song Hold the Line by Toto? Hold the Line, love isn't always on time? I would appreciate opinions to the meaning of the song, Hold The Line by Toto. What does the lyrics hold the line, love isn't always on time mean. It was sent to me and I'm not sure how I should take it.

Marleymoo2 replied: The song is talking about love and timing. It's saying that it might take time for love to come but it will come, not right away and you might have to wait or "hold the line". But love perseveres through all and shows its face when the time is right. That's what the song is about.

Hold the Line ~ Toto

It's not in the way that you hold me
It's not in the way you say you care
It's not in the way you've been treating my friends
It's not in the way that you stayed till the end
It's not in the way you look
or the things that you say that you'll do

Hold the line, LOVE isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, LOVE isn't always on time, oh oh oh

It's not in the words that you told me, girl
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look
or the things that you say that you'll do

Hold the line, LOVE isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, LOVE isn't always on time, oh oh oh

It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look
or the things that you say that you'll do

Hold the line, LOVE isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, LOVE isn't always on time, oh oh oh
(LOVE isn't always on time)

Hold the line, LOVE isn't always on time
(LOVE isn't always, LOVE isn't always on time)
Hold the line, LOVE isn't always on time, LOVE isn't always on time
LOVE isn't always on time, LOVE isn't always on time, oh oh oh
