You see it all around you

Good lovin' gone bad

And usually it's too late when you, realize what you had

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

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 too tight babe

you're gonna loose control

Your baby needs someone to believe in

And a whole lot of space to breathe in

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

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

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

Just 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 tight babe,

you're gonna loose control

yeah, yeah, yeah
