"Hold On Loosely" Lyrics

4.6 / 5
Song updated, review now!
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 too 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 tightly
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

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 tightly
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 tightly
You're gonna loose control

Hold on loosely, but don't let go
If you cling too tightly to her
You're gonna loose control
Yeah, yeah, yeah
