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

It's so damn easy

When your feelings are such

Overprotect her

To love her too much

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 (don't let go)

If you cling too tight, babe

You're gonna lose control (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 her way

You see it all around you

Good lovin' gone bad

And usually it's too late when you

Realize what you had

Just hold on loosely

But don't let go (don't let go)

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose control (lose control)

Your baby needs someone to believe in

And a whole lot of space to breathe in

Just hold on loosely

But don't let go (don't let go out)

If you cling too tight, babe

You're gonna lose it

You're gonna lose control

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just hold on loosely

But don't let go (don't let go)

You're gonna lose control (lose control)

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Whoo

Come on, come on, come on
