Hold On Loosely

[Verse 1]

You see it all around you

Good lovin' gone bad

And usually it's too late when you

Realize what you had

[Pre-Chorus]

And my mind goes back to a girl I met

Long years ago, who told me

[Chorus]

Just hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose control

[Post-Chorus]

Your baby needs someone to believe in

And a whole lot of space to breathe in

[Verse 2]

So damn easy

When your feelings are such

To overprotect her

To love her too much

[Pre-Chorus]

And my mind goes back to a girl I met

Long years ago, who told me

[Chorus]

Just hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose control

[Post-Chorus]

Your baby needs someone to believe in

And a whole lot of space to breathe in

[Bridge]

Don't let her slip away

Sentimental fool

Don't let your heart get in the way

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]

You see it all around you

Good lovin' gone bad

And usually it's too late when you

Realize what you had

[Chorus]

So hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose control

[Post-Chorus]

Your baby needs someone to believe in

And a whole lot of space to breathe in

[Chorus]

So hold on loosely, but don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose it

You're gonna lose control

[Instrumental Break]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

So hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose control

[Outro]

Hold on loosely, but don't let go

If you cling too tightly to her

You're gonna lose control

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Instrumental Outro]
