Hold On Loosely

You see it all around you

Good lovin' gone bad

And usually, it's too late when you

Realize what you had

And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago (Who told me)

"Just hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose control

Your baby needs someone to believe in

And a whole lot of space to breathe in"

So damn easy

When your feelings are such

To overprotect her

To love her too much

And my mind goes back to a girl I met some years ago (Who told me)

"Just hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose control

Your baby needs someone to believe in

And a whole lot of space to breathe in"

Don't let her slip away

Sentimental fool

Don't let your heart get in the way

Yeah, yeah, yeah

You see it all around you

Good lovin' gone bad

And usually, it's too late when you

Realize what you had

So hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose control

Your baby needs someone to believe in

And a whole lot of space to breathe in

So hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose it

You're gonna lose control

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

So hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose control

Hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly to her

You're gonna lose control

Yeah, yeah, yeah
