(joe tex, additional words & music by carly simon)



You had better hold on

Hold on to what youve got

You had better hold on

Hold on to what youve got



cause if you think

Nobody else wants it

Just throw it away

And you will see

Somebody else will have it

Before you can count 1-2-3



You take love for granted

And its gone like a bandit

And this loneliness cuts like a knife



When you see what youve lost

Its already cost

The one you could love your whole life
