Hold On When You Get Love and Let Go When You Give It

There's been a lot of talk of love But that don't amount to nothing You can evoke the stars above But that doesn't make it something And the only way to last And the only way to live it Is to hold on when you get love And let go when you give it, give it It's a pretty melody It might help you through the night time But it doesn't make it easy To leave the party at the right time If I'm frightened, if I'm high It's my weakness, please forgive it At least I hold on when I get love And I let go when I give it, give it, give it What do I do when I get lonely? What do I do? (Hold on when you get love) What do I do when I get lonely? What do I do? (Hold on when you get love) What do I do when I get lonely? What do I do? (And let go when you give it) What do I do? The world won't listen to this song And the radio won't play it But if you like it sing along Sing 'cause you don't know how to say it Take the weakest thing in you And then beat the bastards with it And always hold on when you get love So you can let go when you give it Take the weakest thing in you And then beat the bastards with it And always hold on when you get love So you can let go when you give it, give it, give it What do I do when I get lonely? What do I do? (Hold on when you get love) What do I do when I get lonely? What do I do? (And let go when you give it) What do I do when I get lonely? What do I do? (Hold on when you get love) What do I do? I know it's true, at least I think I do Nothing that you say or do will make you love me Forget the song, things will go on I keep seeing you from the dark with you above me I know it's true, please don't think I do Nothing that you say or do will make you love me Forget the song, things will go on I keep seeing you from the dark with you above me Take the weakest thing in you And then beat the bastards with it And always hold on when you get love So you can let go when you give it, give it, give it Give it, give it, give it, give it
