A Change Is Gonna Come

Walk With the Father

Some People

"Hold Me Like You Mean It" is a powerful Soul/Gospel/Blues anthem that captures the heartbreaking moment a woman realizes her love is not returned. This is a raw, emotional story of a heart breaking, and the ultimate decision to walk away from an empty embrace. With a soft, weary tone that simmers with pain, the song opens on a woman who has been waiting too long, her mind consumed by the thought of where her partner has been. It builds with an inner strength and clarity, declaring an end to living like a "puppy dog" waiting for its master. The track progresses into a moment of pure emotional exposure, questioning where the love has gone and confronting the painful truth that she is just "another woman" in a life of "door to door" fleeting affections. It's a defiant cry against betrayal, a powerful refusal to share a love that was meant to be exclusive. The song crescendos with strength and ache, culminating in a moment of quiet, controlled sorrow as she tells her partner to "pick up that bag and walk out the door," reclaiming her pride and ending the relationship. This is an anthem for anyone who has found the courage to choose self-worth over a broken promise and a love that was never truly there. If you've ever felt this heartbreak, this song is for you.

Lyrics
Hold Me Like You Mean It

I was wondering if you were coming home
Been gone so long, haven’t heard from you
Just been sitting with my thoughts about what you doing
Now you’re here and you can’t hold me like you mean it (why… why)

I can’t do this no more, no more not going to live this way
Not no puppy dog waiting for its master (no I’m not)
This woman has had enough, I won’t be wagging my tail when you come home
Each time you come home you say nothing, and you can’t hold me like you mean it (why… )

Where did our love go, who are you giving your love to (got to know)
You’re on your way, it is obvious that I am only another woman in your life
You’re going from door to door, drop your bag and get your fill then (bye… bye… bye)
No not no more, it became obvious when you couldn’t hold me like you mean it (that’s why you’re going)

My love was there for you to have all our life
But you went looking elsewhere and I will never share
Not going to be sitting here on the porch waiting for you to come back
Not now, not again and you will not have to worry about holding me no more

Where did our love go, who are you giving your love to (got to know)
You’re on your way, it is obvious that I am only another woman in your life
You’re going from door to door, drop your bag and get your fill then (bye… bye… bye)
No not no more, it became obvious when you couldn’t hold me like you mean it (that’s why you’re going)

So, pick up that bag and walk out the door, you’re not welcome here anymore
Bye bye — no holding me no more
