Carly Simon "Hold What You've Got" paroles

Hold What You've Got

You had better hold onHold on to what you've gotYou had better hold onHold on to what you've got

'Cause if you thinkNobody wants itJust throw it awayAnd you will seeSomebody else will have itBefore you can count 1-2-3

Yes, they willYes, they will

You, women out there(You had better hold)Boy, it's hard to find a good and sensitive man(Hold on)A man who loves you for who you areWho really appreciates youAnd you know this guy(You had better hold)I mean, you start up with a new manAnd something you don't know about him(Hold on)Just might hurt youSo stick with your manDon't ever take him for granted

'Cause if you thinkNobody wants himJust throw him awayAnd you will seeSome woman will have your manBefore you can count 1-2-3

Yes, she willYes, she will

Same goes for you, men(You had better hold)There are so many women out thereWho just want to break your heart(Hold on)You got a woman who plays fairYou can trustAnd hey, she's fun to be with(You had better hold)Don't expect any one womanTo fulfill every one of your needs(Hold on)They're only human tooBesides which, it's cooler for you to be faithful

And if you thinkNobody wants herJust let her out on the streetAnd you will seeSome other man will have herBefore you can count 1-2-3

Yes, he willYes, he will

You take love for grantedAnd it's gone like a banditAnd this loneliness cuts like a knifeWhen you see what you've lostAnd it's already costThe one you could love your whole lifeYou had better hold onHold on to what you've gotYou had better hold onHold on to what you've got

You had better hold onHold on to what you've gotYou better hold on(You had better hold on)Hold on to what you've gotYou had better hold onHold on to what you've got
