38 Special - 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

(CHORUS)
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 to 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
To overprotect her, to love her too much

(CHORUS)

Don't let her slip away
Sentimental fool
Don't let your heart get in her 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 to 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 tight babe
You're gonna lose it
You're gonna lose control
Yeah yeah yeah

So hold on loosely, but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe
You're gonna loose control

Hold on loosely, but don't let go
If you cling too tightly to her,
You're gonna lose control
Yeah yeah yeah
