"Hold on Loosely" by 38 Special

You see it all around you
Good loving gone bad
And usually it's too late when you
Realize what you had

(CHORUS)
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

(CHORUS)

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 loving gone bad
And usually it's too late when you
Realize what you had

So 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

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

So hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose control

Hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You are, you're gonna lose control
Yeah, yeah, yeah
