Lyrics

Hang Loose

Don't worry, sweet baby
Don't you ever worry about a thing
Put your worries on the shelf
Learn to love yourself
Don't be your own worst enemy
Hang loose, hang loose
Let the ocean worry about being blue
Hang loose, hang loose
Flow with the tide and I'ma take care of you
Come with me, sweet darling
I got a seat, a ticket for the plane
We gonna fly to Waikiki
It'll just be you and me
And we'll let the sun melt our cares away
Hang loose, hang loose
Let the ocean worry about being blue
Hang loose, hang loose
Flow with the tide and I'ma take of you
We're alright, we gonna be alright
We're alright, we gonna be alright
Hang loose
Hang loose
Hang loose
Hang loose
