Ain't gonna let nobody turn me 'round,
Ain't gonna let nobody turn me 'round;
I'm gonna wait till my change comes.
Don't let nobody turn you 'round,
Turn you 'round,
Don't let nobody turn you 'round,
Wait until your change comes.

I say that I'm gonna hold out,
Hold out, hold out;
I say that I'm gonna hold out,
Until my change comes.

I promised the Lord that I would hold out,
Hold out;
I promised the Lord that I would hold out,
Wait until my change comes.
