What makes him stand and fight

When he only wants to love

And why do they push so hard

When he only needs a shove

Every time I see him go

Everybody says to wait

Can't get loose

You can fight like hell

But you can't get loose

You can dream

But you can't get loose

It's holdin' on, holdin' on



Can't get loose

Oh, no, no



What makes on man rich

How's another man get so poor

What make someone care so much

For things another man can just ignore

Some questions go unanswered

And they have for quite some time

Something's forever sacred

We're just prisoners of our own minds



Chorus:

Can't get loose

We can fight like hell

But we can't get loose

We can dream

But we can't get loose

Keep's holdin' on, holdin' on

Can't get loose

Shake it, share it, share it loose

Oh yea



There she sits

With stars in her eyes

But too afraid to dance

'Cause every guy that she holds so close

Just wants to get in her pants

Oh yea

Can't get loose

Can't get loose

Can't get loose

Can't get loose



Tell me what keeps her by his side

When she's treated just like dirt

The fear of the dark unknown

Appears to be much worse than the hurt

So she stays up nights and dreams

Of a knight in shining armour

Who will rescue her one day

While time keeps going against her



[Chorus]
